Hi, I'm Lloyd Stephan Ruskin, born in 1953 in Manchester, England to Paul Ruskin and Sonia Maxime (nee Almond). After attending School in the Manchester area, I studied Physics at Worcester College University of Oxford (1972-75) and Metal Physics M.Sc at the University of Salford (1975-77) before taking up a career in engineering in the Birmingham area, where I met my wife Debbie. In 1985 we moved to Derby, England and I started a career in I.T. In 1988 we moved to Leicester with my work and then 6 years later we moved back to my home town. I am still married to Debbie and we have 4 children.

My interests area diverse, including a love of music (classical, jazz ), reading novels and exploring my religious background by reading original Jewish texts at a weekly class by a local rabbi in Manchester. I used to play the cello, but it just sits in the corner in my bedroom for the moment. I have also more than a passing interest in the stock market and investments. I'm currently working for the University of Salford.

I have connections to family in Canada and America through my mother's mother, Esther Lillian Issen (Born in Montreal, Canada) and my father's mother Millie Ruskin (nee Turetsky) who grew up in Llanelli and Swansea, Wales.
