My name is Robert Steepleton. I am ** years old and am a very innovative and outspoken person. I have

always been very curious as to how things worked and the energy behind it. I can remember being a child

and my curiosity causing my mischievous ways to set out on an adventure into my father’s garage to find

what I could take apart next. There was always such a satisfying feeling to me about figuring out how

things work, or being able to troubleshoot problems with anything mechanical or electrical and with my

own two hands making them work again. I still have the same feelings today it is very much an addiction

of mine. I have several hobbies with loves of creating, my first would have to be wood working. I

consider myself a master carpenter. I have an extensive tool collection from which I have fabricated

cabinetry, children's toys, and furniture. I used to have my own remodeling business where I did kitchens,

bathrooms, and creative deck building. I still have the love of woodworking, it is one of my favorites. I

have been an artist my entire life. I came to love art at age 3. According to my loving mother, I had eye

surgery and to strengthen and exercise the eye, physicians had me trace cartoon characters.From there I

just kept on drawing and became more serious with it. In my junior year of high school, I was offered an

Art Scholarship to the Chicago Art Institute. Art was my second love of creation with my mind and hands.

Music was my third love, I grew up with it and my three brothers were also into it. It was pretty loud and

crazy for my poor mother so what better choice of instrument for me than drums. I played and performed

percussion for 33 years from high school bands, to clubbing and traveling the road, opening for headliners

such as Ronnie Milslap, Ricky Van Shelton and even the late great George Jones. Even though I no longer

perform the love of music will always be with me and was fun but I wanted a career in what I loved

called troubleshooting. To create something or solve a problem with the love of learning new things, that

was for me. I had went to school to become an EMT for the Schererville Fire Dept. I did that for about

seven years. Then, while working for Joslyn Mfg. I had the opportunity to attend welding school in which

I achieved a degree in stick, mig, heli arch, torch and plasma cutting. I was able to carry this trade with

me to move on and learn more. I really enjoyed welding. It brought a lot of thoughts of art and wood

working to the job. After 12 years of using my hands of trade with IU Health, I am now currently working

for the Gary Works, United States Steel Corporation. The job is great but it is my dream and wish to

relocate to Huntington, Indiana, where I can be closer to my fiancé. If you want to contact me my cell

number is 219-***-****.

Thank you for your time,

Sincerely,

Robert Steepleton

Affiliations

I have always been outgoing and willing to learn as much as I can, I have learned so much with all the

jobs that I have worked but am always willing to learn more so that I may better myself in whatever field

I may be working in. I am very much a people person and work great with others. My very first job was

raking balls in the batting cages. From there I fell into construction where I learned finishing concrete. I

was hired into the fire dept. and ambulance service. Then, started my own home remodeling business but

which got me on at Joslyn Mfg., where I worked as a laborer and got into welding school. I relocated

from there to Monon Trucking where I became a class A cosmetic welder. I also welded for Galbreath Inc.

I left to do studio work, sight reading music for up and coming country stars. After that, I decided to get

back into health care. I was there for 12 years. They offered me a lot of schooling where I have learned a

great deal. My hobbies are woodworking and art for now.

Please feel free to contact me anytime at your convenience, relocation

is not an issue for me, I am looking for a job in the Northeastern part of the state of Indiana at this time.

Thank you for your time,

Robert Steepleton
