Meet The Team
David Gamez
Founder & C.E.O
David Gámez was born in Sensuntepeque, Cabañas, El Salvador, and raised by a strong single mother who taught him resilience, humility, and the value of hard work. In 2007, at just 14 years old, David immigrated to the United States in search of opportunity and a better future. Arriving with no English and no clear path, he faced the challenges that many young immigrants know too well. Still, he pushed forward. David graduated from Fort Meade High School in 2012, marking the first major milestone in his new life. Shortly after, he earned a scholarship from the Catholic Church to study and live in Kensington, Philadelphia. At only 19, he witnessed the realities of a vulnerable community struggling with poverty and addiction. Those seven months shaped his understanding of service, compassion, and the importance of giving back. His dedication earned him a second scholarship — this time to St. John’s University in New York. In 2013, he moved to Queens, where he studied until 2017. After graduating, David returned to Maryland, but the transition was difficult. As an English second‑language speaker with limited job opportunities, he worked wherever he could: cook, food runner, prep, guest services, and eventually server at TGI Fridays in Arundel Mills. These roles helped him develop communication skills, discipline, and a deep appreciation for customer service. David later worked for the Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles (MVA) for three years. There, he saw firsthand the struggles immigrants face with language barriers and complex government processes. This experience awakened a calling: to help his community navigate the systems that once challenged him. That calling became his purpose — and eventually, his business.

Our Story
Notary Public & Other Services LLC was founded in 2019 by David Gámez, an immigrant from El Salvador who arrived in the United States in 2007 with a dream of building a better future through hard work, faith, and service to others. After overcoming the challenges of adapting to a new culture and learning English, David graduated from Fort Meade High School in 2012 and dedicated years to serving the Hispanic community through faith-based and community programs in Pennsylvania and New York.
Through those experiences, David developed a deep passion for helping immigrant families navigate difficult and often confusing processes. After gaining valuable public service experience working for the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), he decided to pursue his entrepreneurial vision.
At just 27 years old, and with only $10 in his bank account, David founded Notary Public & Other Services LLC with a pencil, paper, and a commitment to serve his community with honesty and dedication. What began as a small notary and tax service quickly grew into a trusted business serving families and small businesses across Maryland.
Despite financial challenges in the early years, the company continued expanding by adding Tag & Title services, bookkeeping, certified translations, tax preparation, and administrative support services. Today, Notary Public & Other Services LLC has grown into a professional team of 13 employees working across specialized departments to serve thousands of clients throughout Maryland.
Built on the values of service, education, and community, the company proudly maintains a 5-star Google rating — a reflection of the trust, loyalty, and dedication that have defined its journey from the very beginning.
