Lynchburg Born & Raised.

In my capacity as a notary, I’m registered as “Edward Thomas,” but you can call me “Ed.” I am a life-long resident of the Lynchburg area. I graduated from Campbell County schools in 2000 and received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees in business from a local university.

Being a notary is not my occupation. In my professional life, I have enjoyed a varied career first as a realtor’s assistant, then a computer programmer for a local physician billing company, administrative work at both of the local hospitals, as well as resource scheduling and team management for a large non-profit with a national presence. However, for the past many years my work has primarily been in the production industry as both an employee and as a freelance contractor.

I received my first commission as a notary in 2016, being recommissioned in 2020 and 2024. I do not make any profit from being a notary and do not have a lot of free-time to dedicate to providing notary service. However, when I am able to, I truly enjoy serving the Commonwealth in this capacity especially when it comes to helping people who have exhausted all other options. Although being a notary is not my full-time gig, make no mistake: I take it very seriously! I am also always glad to hear from other notaries who may find any of the information on my website helpful or who may have questions about serving as a notary, so please feel free to reach out.
