Cover Your Assets Home Watch is owned by retired Law Enforcement Commander and Veteran, Shaun Lissow. Shaun was born and raised in Upstate New York. When he was 14 years old, he moved with his parents to Virgina where he finished high school. After high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard, serving five years as a Machinery Technician / Boarding Officer.

Following his time in the military, his love of country, community, and helping others led Shaun to join the ranks of the Henrico County Police Department.

Shaun moved to Southwest Florida in 2006 where he continued his law enforcement career. He recently retired from law enforcement as a Police Commander after 21 years of service. Shaun has always enjoyed helping others and feels that a Home Watch business will be another way to do just that.

Shaun holds an associate and bachelor's degrees in criminal justice and a master's degree of professional studies. He earned the FBI Leeda Trilogy certificate, the Florida Leadership Academy certificate through the FDLE, and many other law-enforcement-related certifications.

Shaun wanted to get into the Home Watch business to continue helping his community and working to help citizens make sure their properties are professionally taken care of.

Shaun graduated from the NHWA's Home Watch Boot Camp and earned the designation of Certified Home Watch Professional (CHWP), placing him among the industry's elite Home Watch providers. The CHWP designation and Boot Camp training exemplify Shaun's commitment to Home Watch excellence. In addition, Guardian Shepherd Home Watch of North Port, Florida has earned Accredited Member status from the NHWA.

Shaun enjoys spending time with his family, friends, and animals. He loves the outdoors: cycling, hiking, camping, outdoor activities, and woodworking. He feels that the more he's outdoors, the better his life is.
