About Us

Frank J. Backitis, Jr.

Frank J. Backitis, Jr., has been an appointed and commissioned Notary Public for the State of Florida since early 2017. Before moving to Florida, he was a commissioned Notary Public in the State of South Carolina as well. He is a member of the American Society of Notaries, and actively mentors and assists less experienced Notaries Public. Being a Notary is a matter of honor and pride to Frank, and is the way he feels to best serve the public after having been a Emergency Medical Technican and a Firefighter (both in South Carolina).

He recognizes and understands that, as an appointed and commissioned Notary Public, he is a public officer for the state with significant duties and obligations as a result. For him, providing notarial services is not a "side hustle" for earning extra cash. His day job as a Senior Manager for a major global consulting and professional services organization allows him to provide for his family. As a result, the fees and charges for providing notarial services are set to just cover expenses, supplies, and ongoing activities.

Frank is happily married (for over 33 years), and has a son who will be attending the University of Central Florida in Orlando. In addition to being a Notary Public, he is also an Amateur Radio Operator (callsign KM4RB), focused on the area of emergency communications, and is a trained Skywarn weather spotter.
