"I AM" HELP
I find myself repeating "I am" too much in my resume cover letter. In the body section I have stated many facts about myself and it's just too repetative, does anyone have suggestions?
lets keep it simple, I am six feet tall, I enjoy my morning coffee, I am a smoker.
Just three facts about me but you get the gist. I am not so much looking to reword the end of the sentence as I am looking to change the I am's.

I am six feet tall, enjoy my morning coffee, and smoke. I'd make a sort of enumeration of it. Perhaps some people call this elipsis, which is when you omit words to avoid unnecessary repetition.

Sorry, I ment to keep it simple since I didn't want to include long complex sentences.
If those three would not be able to connect, i.e. they are multiple sentences themselves, I just dumbed it down.
I am six feet tall.
Proudly standing at six feet tall.
I am a smoker
I smoke
Smoking is something I do
Enjoying a cigarette is a definin
