Grace and Growth Start Here!

The G2 Connection was born from my personal journey—a journey that transformed pain into purpose, struggle into strength, and adversity into growth. As a combat veteran, I know firsthand the devastating impact trauma can have. I also know that recovery, though challenging, is possible with the right tools, the right support, and the right mindset.

After experiencing the loss of my father in a tragic accident at the age of nine and serving in Iraq, I faced the heavy weight of trauma, PTSD, and moral injury. For years, I struggled in silence, searching for ways to heal and regain a sense of control. It wasn’t until I embraced my own vulnerability and started exploring evidence-based therapies, peer support, and personal coaching that I found the resilience to rebuild my life.

That’s when I realized: healing doesn’t have to be done alone. And this is exactly why I created The G2 Connection—to guide others through their healing journey and show them that recovery is not only possible, it’s a path toward discovering deeper strength and resilience.

About The G2 Connection

About Andrew J. Cox, MA, CEM

Andrew J. Cox is a decorated combat veteran, trauma recovery coach, and entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in leadership, resilience-building, and trauma healing. His journey from military service to founding The G2 Connection is a story of transformation, strength, and purpose.

As an Army First Lieutenant, Andrew served in Iraq in 2003, where he experienced the intense pressures of combat and the devastating impact of trauma. His struggles with PTSD, moral injury, and survivor’s guilt led him down a long road of self-discovery and healing. For years, Andrew grappled with the aftermath of these experiences, battling anxiety, hypervigilance, addiction, and intense anger. However, it wasn’t until he began actively seeking alternative therapies, including accelerated resolution therapy (ART) and engaging in posttraumatic growth practices, that he found the clarity and resilience to rebuild his life.

In his pursuit of healing, Andrew not only overcame his personal struggles but also realized the immense power of helping others on their own journeys. This led him to create The G2 Connection, a platform designed to support individuals and organizations in building resilience, overcoming trauma, and fostering growth. With a Master’s in Military and Trauma Psychology, a trauma coaching certification, and years of firsthand experience, Andrew has a unique perspective on the challenges faced by those living with trauma.

As the founder of The G2 Connection, Andrew’s mission is clear: to help others transform their struggles into strength, and to guide them through the often difficult path of recovery with empathy, expertise, and actionable strategies. His work is rooted in evidence-based practices, personal experience, and a deep understanding of the psychological effects of trauma.

Andrew's vision extends beyond one-on-one coaching; he also offers consulting services for organizations, particularly those in high-stress industries like the military, law enforcement, and first responders. Through keynote speaking engagements, Andrew shares his powerful story and the lessons he’s learned on his journey, motivating others to find their own path to healing, resilience, and growth.

When he’s not coaching or speaking, Andrew is passionate about spending time with his family, continuing his own personal development, and raising awareness about the importance of mental health, especially within the military and first responder communities.
