SUMMARY:Advancing The Line - Tampa
DESCRIPTION:After surviving stepping on an IED that nearly claimed his life\, one Green Beret embarked on an extraordinary journey—from the battlefields of Afghanistan to humanitarian work in Ukraine\, his story is one of courage\, resilience\, and finding profound purpose in serving others\, transforming personal tragedy into a mission of hope and healing for those in need. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Zack A Knight in a business networking conversation at Centre Club where we feature veterans of the local community that are making an impact as we all come together in one place to build community and business.

As the “tip of the spear\,” his role is to ensure the route taken by U.S. and Afghan troops are free of IEDs — improvised explosive devices. Many soldiers do not survive their last step; those who do often lose at least one limb. \n\n\n\nWhile rescuing an Afghan soldier outside a mud-hut compound in 2010 — knowing that he was in “uncleared” territory — Ryan stepped on an IED with his right foot. The device exploded\, leaving his foot dangling at the end of his leg.

DESCRIPTION:Here’s a bit about Ret. Lt. Col.

Raised in the Army\, Ms. Cox is the daughter of a soldier and the mother of a sailor who has spent the bulk of her career supporting the warfighter. She joined Tunnel to Towers Foundation in April of 2023 as the Associate Vice President for Development and Government Affairs where she advocates for the dignity and security of veterans across the country who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Ms. Cox began her career in business development for physical and cyber security for companies like SAIC and ManTech. She attempted to retire and moved to Utah in 2013.

Eager to rejoin to the mission of warfighter support\, she moved back to the Washington\, DC\, area in 2022 where she returned to SAIC as the Communications Officer for the Chief Data Officer for a federal agency before accepting her current position at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
