Imre Balint

Imre Zsolt Balint (pen name: Emery Valentine) has a love and desire to learn almost anything, and the perseverance to actually accomplish many of those things.

He has self-published several books, most of which are available on Kindle and paperback (Mikey's Fantastic Magical Gift (illustrated children's book), Rave Girl: Change My Mind (sci-fi novel), Circulum (sci-fi novel), Making Professional Longboards: For Hobby or Profit (non-fiction), and Concepts of Photography and More (non-fiction)).

His career has spanned across many fields from creative ventures such as 2D / 3D animation and multimedia production, to software, web application, and database development, to education as an instructor and curriculum developer. Imre’s education includes a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems (Summa Cum Laude), Master of Project Management (with Distinction), and an MBA (also with Distinction).

And if that wasn’t enough, Imre has enjoyed drawing and artwork for many years, photography, learning how to play several musical instruments, and woodworking. Many of his creations are available in his Etsy shop.
