Q&A: Scott Flood President, Plainfield Community School Corporation Board of School Trustees Writer / Jamie Hergott Photography Provided
Tell us a little bit about your work and career history. I’m a freelance business writer. I started in advertising and started my own business gig in 1995. I work for a lot of different companies and websites doing articles, blogs and some ghostwriting. I’m a transplant out of Chicago. Tell us about your family. I have three adult kids - one lives in Fishers, one lives in Philadelphia and one lives five minutes from me. They’ve all gone through Plainfield schools. I have a granddaughter at Little Quakers Academy. Being a grandparent, I’m basically a built-in babysitter. What do you love about being a grandparent? It’s fun to be a little kid again. It’s fun to do all those kid things, to get down on your hands and knees, play with Legos, that sort of thing. Of course, that means I’m stepping on Legos again too, but that’s ok. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? I’m a model railroader. I’m also an avid hiker. One of my favorite places to hike is the nature park at DePauw University. It’s an amazing nature park there, and it’s only about half an hour away. It’s an incredibly great place to take kids - quiet and PlainfieldMag.com / FEBRUARY 2020 / PLAINFIELD MAGAZINE / 25
