About Me — Robert Shaneyfelt

Jack of all trades, master of some.

Photo of and by author.

Don’t be worried about the guns I’m holding in my picture, I only use them for pest control.

I was born in Chicago, but, moved to Indiana when I was in grade school. I am first generation Slovakian. Likewise, I have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.

As a college student, I worked for the Indiana power company, Public Service Indiana. I did substation construction as well as engineering for the utility. After I graduated from college, I moved to California and worked for a defense contractor where I worked on the Aegis, Stinger, and Phalanx weapon systems.

I used to write software and still have active applications at Google Play.

I’ve worked for IBM, Honeywell, and the telecom industry. Not only that, but I’ve done engineering freelancing, and consulting. My biggest freelance, software project was for a funeral conglomerate, I have a story about it.

Furthermore, I’ve written poetry, fiction, philosophy, and technical articles.

I first was enticed into online writing by Vocal media, but later found the Medium platform to be more gratifying.

I’ve learned a lot while writing on the medium platform, and feel there is much more to learn.

I have a son and an x-wife. Likewise, I am an amateur athlete and a fitness guru.

I have a black Labrador retriever named Sam that I have written stories about. I also have a cat, but, find, she is not as interesting a story subject as my dog.

Furthermore, I’ve lived and worked all over the United States.

I have two stories at Kindle Villa.

Two fictional stories. Old Alton Bridge, and West Coast Beach.

The same stories are also available on medium.
