I’m Andrew Coville — a Marine Corps veteran, retired police sergeant, author, and storyteller.
My work explores the moments that define us: the ones we choose, the ones we survive, and the ones we grow from.
Through my writing and my podcast Lessons Learned, I share stories from my service, my life, and the people who shaped it.
Summer 2009: A Journey of Self-Discovery Amidst the Afghanistan War
Summer 2009 is a memoir about identity, loss, and personal transformation during the Afghanistan War.
Based on the journal I kept during my deployment, it’s a raw, honest look at the reality of service, the bonds that shape us, and the journey toward self-discovery.
Lessons learned Podcast
Lessons Learned is a podcast about the stories behind who we are — the moments that challenge us, teach us, and shape us.
Through conversations and personal reflections, I explore leadership, resilience, service, and the experiences that define our growth.
I speak on leadership, resilience, service, and personal transformation.
Whether for veteran groups, police departments, community organizations, or private events — my goal is to share lessons learned from a life in service.
