Insiders' Notes: A 2011 transplant to Cleveland himself, EA alum John Scanlan, the CFO of the Cleveland Municipal School District, found some time outside of work to become a master woodworker. After seeing his fabulous commissions, you might decide to just let him create a piece for you! Photo Credits Preview modal-
