Tony Phung
Founder and CEO
I got into computers early, playing PC games. As a gamer I needed accuracy, reliability and speed, and I brought those same ideas to business technology. I also got tired of gamers who hacked to win, so now I protect businesses from hackers.
I am an entrepreneur at heart and I am involved in a few technology projects. We collaborate often with the United States Secret Service and FINTRAC Canada. Through our network I get to see tools that help in tough situations like fire damage, floods and ransomware.
Outside work, I co-founded a restaurant in Edmonton that I co-manage with my sister, and I co-manage an autobody shop. I use secure technology to keep an eye on what is going on in both.

Jason Tu

I am a NAIT graduate and ITILv2 certified. I am the person behind the scenes. On a regular Tuesday I work with Windows Server, VMware, Hyper-V, SharePoint, Lotus Domino, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, SAN directors, IBM DS8870, HPE 3PAR and Nimble, Veeam, security vulnerability patching, LANDESK, HEAT, Ivanti, ArcServe, Riverbed and more.
I am a hockey fanatic and I play goalie.

Hang Truong
Business Manager
I am interested in how effective technology can be once it is understood. When it works, it feels like magic. My job at Benson Hunt is to make sure our team communicates well from the first hello through to support.

Dr. Kat Nguyen, DMD
Dentist (DMD) and Clinical Operations Advisor
I am Dr. Kat, a dentist with a curiosity about technology. Tony invited me to join the team to advise on dental technology and clinic operations. I am happy to talk about x-ray sensors and dental technology tools.
You can find me with Benson Hunt at dental conferences, especially the Pacific Dental Conference.

Paul Nguyen, B.Sc
Systems Analyst and Developer
I am a reader. Give me the documentation and I will make sense of it. I graduated from MacEwan University with a major in Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science. With over 10 years of experience, debugging and improving the user experience is my part in the Internet of Things.
My tech stack includes Microsoft Azure, Object Pascal, Java, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, C#, C++, Python and SQL. I work with SQL Server, MySQL and Oracle databases.

Mark Gunderson, K.C.
Retired lawyer
I am a retired lawyer, and I partner with Benson Hunt Technologies through a sister company, Benson Hunt Smart Buildings. Our expertise is the physical security of commercial and multi-residential buildings.
I mostly raise bees and travel the world. My last trip was with Tony to Hong Kong, to take a deeper look at cybersecurity and building security.

Dmitri ‘Magnecom’
Structured data cabling
I have worked with Benson Hunt Technologies since 2016. I am part of the Telecommunications Industry Association and the Canadian Standards Association (TIA and CSA), and I am trained in First Aid, WHMIS, H2S, elevated work and fall protection.
Coaxial, CAT5e, CAT6, CAT7, fibre and SFP are my thing. Cabling is an art to me, and I like a data rack that is organized and not cut up by zip ties. Velcro is the answer.

Tiffany Kinding, RDH
Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) and Dental Hygiene IT Operations Advisor
I have worked with Benson Hunt Technologies for 5 years. Together we have used tools including MouthWatch, Daryou, Dexis, Apex and more.
I graduated as a dental hygienist in 2011, in an office that used film radiography and paper charts. Over the years I learned from mentors across many dental specialties. Working with Benson Hunt on up to date digital systems for radiography, photography, scanners and note templates is when my workflow really clicked.
I am also a mother, a lover of candid photography and a hopeful future dachshund owner.
