Simi Valley’s local businesses, events & community
Simi On Video is a free community video project by Simi Valley local Steve Hise. I film the restaurants, small businesses, nonprofits, and events that make Simi Valley home, then share them on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok so more neighbors find them.

Hi, I’m Steve Hise
I started Simi On Video to give back to the town I live and work in. Every video is a chance to point neighbors toward a great local meal, a business they didn’t know about, or an event they won’t want to miss.
When I’m not filming, I help Simi Valley families buy and sell homes with my partner Tricia Garcia at Real Estate Toolbox. If you’re curious about your neighborhood, our Texas Tract guide is a good place to start.
