He studied at Butte College and moved from KHSL to small-market radio and newspaper jobs in Utah, Arizona, and California.

In 1992 Flatter moved to Bristol, Connecticut, to start work as a producer, production manager, and creative director in two separate stints with ESPN Radio (1992–95 and 1998–2004). Flatter became an air personality at sports stations in Miami (1995–96) and Austin, Texas (1996–98). Following a visit to Australia, he moved from the US to Melbourne to become Sport 927's Editor of International Sport from 2004 to 2007. He still contributes radio and web features for the station from the Super Bowl and from major horse races in the U.S. and Europe. With his Australian work visa set to expire, Flatter returned to the States in early 2007 to begin a career as a freelance broadcaster and sportswriter in Manhattan. In the same year, 1050 ESPN Radio, now WEPN (1050 AM, "ESPN New York") made Flatter its lead weekend anchor.
