Steve Kinsey: Editor / Site Owner
I started my first website dvdlard some time around the beginning of 2000. I had
no previous experience of web design but had wanted to try a site of some kind for
a long time. The problem was knowing what exactly to create a web site about. When
I got bitten by the DVD and Home Cinema bug it became the obvious choice. I'm a
Welsh valley boy (and proud of it). My hobbies include Home Cinema and DVD (of course),
Internet/Intranet design and reading.

I was born and raised in the East Midlands (in a small village called Breaston in
between Nottingham and Derby) but moved to Manchester to study for a Biochemistry
degree and a Cell Biology PhD at Manchester University in 1993. All these years
later and I'm still here, married a local lass (by way of the Punjab anyway) and
am now nicely settled. I work as a postdoctoral research fellow and undertake research
into diabetic and renal disease.
I've always been a film fan and have vivid memories of watching Star Wars Episode
IV every Sunday for several years. My movie tastes are slanted towards Sci-fi but
I don't mind any genre as long as it's not horror (6ft pansy in this department!).
outside of films I'm an enthusiastic badminton player, playing for teams in the
Manchester and Stockport leagues, an Xbox 360 gamer (when the wife lets me!) and
am a keen internet bargain hunter.
