ABOUT JASON:

Jason Pagliaro is the proud owner and creative force behind Guardian Custom Creations. A United States Marine Corps Veteran, Jason served during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm before continuing his commitment to service as a contractor supporting USMC intelligence systems. His work once again took him to the Middle East in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

After relocating to Savannah, GA, Jason pursued a lifelong dream and became a police officer with the Savannah Police Department. Over his distinguished 20-year career, he rose to the rank of Sergeant, and lead the Office of Homeland Security, the Dignitary Protection Unit, and serving as the Chief Pilot for the Drone Unit. Jason retired from public service in April 2026, and now channels his passion for craftsmanship, design, and patriotism into Guardian Custom Creations—a brand dedicated to high-quality digital designs.

Jason is married to his best friend and biggest supporter, Tina, a successful entrepreneur with a thriving Etsy and Shopify business, Wreaths of Bloom, where Jason handles all the shipping duties. Tina’s expertise and creative talent have been recognized in Southern Living Magazine, and she was a guest on Episode 102 of How to Sell Your Stuff On Etsy. Inspired by her success, Jason launched Guardian Custom Creations to create meaningful, high-quality designs while building a future beyond his time in uniform.

When he’s not designing, you’ll find Jason and Tina out camping, making memories with their four grandkids, or spending time with their two beloved rescue dogs, Zarah and Zoey.
