A. A couple of years ago, I married a young couple that did not know they needed to get the marriage license first themselves. They were so excited to be married that they did not consider that part. The couple had invited guests and were dressed for the occasion, but did not have any paperwork. So, the next week we all gathered again once they obtained the marriage license. This is a favorite story from my wedding officiant work because they just wanted to be together and it was easy to see they were in love.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. Fraud prevention is my passion because it enables businesses and individuals to trust easier. Restoring integrity in business transactions and verifying IDs can help make the world more transparent. Therefore, this can help generate more transactions and reduce potential loss.

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. After undergrad, I worked as an Assistant Sales Manager and noticed that contracts required notarization before being submitted for service activation. Therefore, I realized the need for having a notary available in the field for business transactions. However, finding one that is reliable can be difficult. Fraud prevention is important in business transactions to reduce lost revenue, scams and more. Identity theft is a growing crime and working as a mobile notary can help prevent this. Click fraud is an increasing issue as well. It occurs when someone clicks on your Ad without any intention on buying to get paid. This leaves online marketers looking for new ways to promote without paying per click. This is the fraud prevention effort that JMK Notary & Services solves with the SEO application law of reciprocity.

A. I am particularly proud of a seminar that I did for the community. The topics helped new and existing entrepreneurs promote themselves without having a huge budget to see their business on the top of Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?

A. Yes, I must complete a notary public course every four years to renew my commission with the State of Florida. As for SEO services, I subscribe to SEW (Search Engine Watch Newsletter) and attend PR Web webinars.

Q. What are the latest developments in your field? Are there any exciting things coming in the next few years or decade that will change your line of business?

A. Yes, notaries will be doing electronic notarizations within this decade more often. As for SEO (search engine optimization) it will be changing constantly and merging more with social media, like LinkedIn.

A. Pricing is based on the county served and the type of service. Therefore, each client is advised to contact JMK Notary & Services directly to obtain a price list.

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. I help people from around the country via blogging, seminars and classroom teaching at Miami-Dade College to get into the notary business. First, I would tell a potential notary public in Florida to take the course online for free to save money. Second, I suggest to get a portfolio bag to carry everything. Third, I recommend shadowing someone else already in the business to learn on the job.

Q. What is your greatest strength?

A. This company's greatest strength is its ability to adapt to the market. Since 2011, we have added options to our destination wedding Officiant services by adding a male. Now brides and grooms may have either a male or female Officiant at no extra charge to accomodate their preference.
