Meet Your SF Mobile Notary Public Team
Since our founding in 2004, SF Notary + Apostille's mobile notary team has earned a reputation for unparalleled experience, expertise, and exceptional client service throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Every member of our team is commissioned by the California Secretary of State, is a member in good standing of the National Notary Association (NNA), is bonded and E&O insured, passes rigorous annual background screenings, and completes ongoing training to stay current with California notary law and best practices.
As lifelong and longtime Bay Area residents, our notaries are committed to giving back to the communities we serve. In addition to volunteering their time, our team provides pro bono notary services for several nonprofit organizations, including Glide Memorial Church, KQED, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and WildAid.
Here's a brief introduction to each member of our notary team

A Certified NNA Notary Signing Agent, John has guided clients through thousands of real estate transactions, estate plans, and foreign-bound document authentications. His extensive experience with California apostilles, U.S. Department of State apostilles and authentications, embassy and consulate legalizations, and complex international requirements has earned SF Notary + Apostille a reputation as San Francisco's leading mobile notary and apostille service.
Before founding the company, John spent 25 years at AT&T serving Fortune 500 companies as a corporate sales executive, where he developed expertise in customer service, contracts, logistics, and project management.
