About Me

I’m Pete Fountain.

Mobile notary/loan signing agent | real estate agent | freelance writer | percussionist

I have been a mobile notary / signing agent for 5 years. In addition to my notary commission from the State of New York, I am a member of the National Notary Association (NNA), a NNA certified signing agent, and I have a NNA certified background check completed yearly.

I am many things, among them:

• I’m my kids dad. Best job ever!
• I’m an amateur gardener. My garden seems to increase in size every year, unfortunately I’m not sure the same is true of my skills.
• I’m a Rush fanatic. Best band ever. Best prog-rock drummer ever. A day isn’t complete without a little Rush in it.
• I love to read, I always have a couple books stashed in various places. I wish I had more time for books!
• I’ve never met chocolate I didn’t love. Any time, any place, any form. If it’s chocolate, I’m in.
• I’m an animal lover.
• I’m a life-long learner. It’s important to go to bed every night a little wiser than I was when I woke up.

Some things I think about

• Kindness is terribly underrated. Kindness is always an option.
• We never truly know what someone else is going through.
• Seek first to understand before being understood – Steven Covey. The application of this sentence changed my life.
• Music is everywhere, rhythm is everywhere, it ties us all together even if we don’t recognize it.
• The best revenge is not to be like your enemy. People will hurt us, we don’t have to be like them.
• Experiences are priceless, especially experiences shared with other people.
• Not caring what other people think about us is a true superpower.
• A lot of people get rich helping us feel like crap about ourselves, then selling us solutions to fix it.
