The long version

From Garbage Boy to Behind the Camera

  1. Hue, Vietnam

    I came to Calgary at 18

    I had no English. Not broken English. None.

    I couldn't order food. I couldn't ask for directions. I couldn't read a bus stop.

    It took me three years to learn enough English to qualify for university. Three years of feeling stupid in a country that wasn't mine.

  2. Mount Royal University

    The Garbage Boy

    Bachelor of Business Administration, accounting and business management. To pay for school I worked in the main kitchen on campus.

    My job title didn't exist on paper, but everyone called me what I was. I went from food shop to food shop, collected the trash, dragged the bags out, dumped them. Then I cleaned the big pots. The ones bigger than my chest. The ones with grease an inch thick.

    After a month I got promoted. To dishwasher. That was the win.

  3. Brookfield, then BDO

    I kept working

    Part-time job after part-time job. Junior year I landed an accounting internship at Brookfield Property. The summer after that, BDO Canada in Calgary offered me a full-time job, two full years before I would even graduate.

    I finished the degree. I took the BDO job. I crunched numbers. I was good at it. Then I left and went to Visual College of Art and Design as a financial planner, helping students work out how to pay for school. The same dream I had lived through.

  4. The turn

    Something was off

    I grew up dancing, contemporary and lyrical. I used my body to tell stories before I could tell them in English. That part of me was still there. The accountant job was paying me well. It wasn't feeding me.

    So I started over. Again. I taught myself video. Three years of it. YouTube tutorials at midnight after work. Buying gear I couldn't afford. Working for free for any agency that would let me touch a camera. Carrying bags. Charging batteries. Watching, asking, failing, redoing.

    Numbers tell you what happened. Video shows people why it matters.

  5. 2020

    I founded Storimatic Studio

    I have been behind the camera for over five years now.

    The kitchen pots are gone. The math is still useful. The dance is still in everything I shoot.

Why contractors

Four Reasons I Only Film This Trade

Reason 01

The untold story

I want to tell the untold story. The people nobody films. The men in steel-toes who pour the slab at 5 a.m. so your kid's school opens on time. The framers, the welders, the ready-mix drivers, the precast crews. The guys who build the city and never get put on a billboard.

I want viewers to see the builder. Not the brand. The person.

Reason 02

No drama, no jargon

Contractors are different. They're down to earth. No drama. No jargon. No let's circle back. They tell you what the job is, what it costs, when it'll be done. Then they do it. That's how I work too, so we fit.

Phase 1What the job isClear scope. No corporate jargon.
Phase 2What it costsUpfront pricing. Zero surprises.
Phase 3When it'll be doneStrict deadlines. No circling back.
Phase 4Then we do itDown to earth. Getting it done.
Reason 03

What makes me angry

Most agencies confuse hard-working men with marketing words they don't understand, then take their hard-earned money.

I've seen it. Five-figure retainers for brand strategy decks that nobody reads. Funnel diagrams sold to a guy who just wants more leads on his concrete jobs. Subscription contracts no contractor was ever meant to understand before signing.

Reason 04

The deal

I won't do that. Here is what you get from me instead.

The PlanClearI'll tell you what the video is going to do.
The CostUpfrontI'll tell you what it costs before we start.
The FootageSharedI'll show you what we filmed.
The ResultsHonestIf it doesn't work, I'll tell you that too.
The numbers

These Are Real. These Are Checked.

The person behind the camera

A Finance Guy Who Learned to Shoot

When I quote you a job, I quote it like an accountant. When I shoot it, I shoot it like a dancer. When I edit it, I edit it like a guy who needs the phone to ring on Monday.

I still dance

I got married in 2025 and became a father in the same year. Most weeks I still dance. Not for an audience, for me. It's how I clear my head when a shoot day goes sideways or a deadline is breathing on my neck.

That's how I stay steady. It's also why I shoot the way I shoot. Bodies in motion. Hands working. Real movement, not staged.

People ask what I'm like to work with. Two things: adaptable and honest. The job site changes with weather, schedule and scope, and I move with it. If something isn't working, I'll tell you before you have to ask.

You can't use the mind to control the mind. So I use movement to control the mind.

What I believe

Five Things I'm Sure Of After Five Years

A contractor's word is worth more than a marketing deck

If you tell me the job, I'll make the video. I don't need a 40-slide brand audit to point a camera at a hard-working man.

Video doesn't sell. Trust sells. Video just shows the trust

If your work is good, my job is to get out of the way and let people see it.

Honesty scales better than hype

I'd rather lose a client by being straight with them than keep one by performing for them.

The best footage is the stuff the foreman doesn't think is interesting

The cleanup. The jokes at lunch. The hands. That's the story.

If I confuse you, that's my fault, not yours

Plain words, every time. You should never need a glossary to read a quote from me.
