Me ...


Me :)

Outline

My name is Derek Piper. I am about 6ft tall, with blue eyes and browny-blonde hair (used to be lighter but it's darkened over the years). I am 29 years old and I live in Bloomington, Indiana. I am British by birth, being born in Barnet, North London in England. I emigrated to the USA at age 23 on the 29th of July 1999 to marry my sweetheart Cindy. We got married on the 9th of September 1999 in a lovely outside wedding.

An outline of my immigration process can be found here.


Romance

Cindy

Cindy is my darling wife and because of her I'm the happiest I've ever been. :) We share a lovely romance and I know I have found my soulmate in her.

Some details of our romance and how we met can be found here.

Education / Employment

I graduated from DeMontfort University on the 14th of July, 1999 with Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering. DeMontfort University is in Leicester, England.

I am a Research Technologist for the School of Informatics at Indiana University, in Bloomington, Indiana.

My resume is here should you wish to review it.


Hobbies

I am not one for a lot of 'effort' in my hobbies. Some people like doing all sorts of active things and never stop... not me. That's not to say I don't like doing ANYTHING active, I do.. just not all the time. I have enjoyed and still do enjoy playing games / sports when I the mood strikes but I do find myself very happy to relax and watch movies, listen to music, chat with friends - sometimes via a MUSH and generally take it easy most of the time. I enjoy using and programming computers and I have compiled something of a history of my experiences with them here as well as my feelings on computer gaming, something I also enjoy doing very much :)
