01 — Roots
Born to Ukrainian immigrants. Raised in Oregon.
Alex Itkis is a first-generation American. His parents emigrated from Ukraine, and he grew up in Oregon before studying political science at the University of Oregon.
He speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian.
02 — The first venture
A pandemic senior year, and a move south.
When COVID-19 upended his final year of college in 2020, he moved to Los Angeles and started his first business: a mobile notary service, bringing signings to homes, offices, hospitals and escrow tables across the city.
He turned that know-how into a course teaching others the trade, then reinvested the income to expand and automate the notary operation.
03 — Marriage
Same-day marriage, ten times over.
The same playbook became his first same-day marriage chapel in Los Angeles. Ten chapels now serve couples across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Oceanside, San Francisco and New York.
Couples anywhere can also marry legally by video, a model he first built as Virtual Same Day Marriage.
04 — Notary
The business that started it all.
The mobile notary service he began with in 2020 lives on as PandA Notary: mobile and in-office notary for real estate, estate planning and everyday documents across Century City, Beverly Hills and West Los Angeles, seven days a week.
PandA stands for Parker and Alex.
05 — Today
Operator, investor, builder.
He leads growth and operations across the group: opening markets, search and advertising, pricing, and AI-assisted phone and scheduling systems that let a new location run without a new back office.
Alongside the operating companies, he invests in real estate and in other businesses.
