Hello, my name is Ed Freeney, and let me tell you how the Ecosystem-G came about.
I was born and raised in Syracuse, New York. I started hustling early, buying and selling autos and properties in my late teens with no financial support other than room and board. Every dollar mattered, every deal mattered, and every mistake taught me something real. That hustle helped me do something important: I helped my mother buy the home of her dreams at the age of 25. That moment shaped everything that came after.
Before insurance, before catastrophe work, before Ecosystem-G, I was a personal trainer. And not just any trainer. My very first client was Richard Shivers. Richard did more than train with me. He believed in me. He helped me study for my exams. He helped me prepare for background checks. He helped me write my resumes. He taught me what to say in interviews. He pushed me to think bigger, act sharper, and move with confidence. For years, I viewed business and life through his eyes, and that perspective changed everything for me.
I also personally trained Rodney Webb for many years. When you train someone one-on-one, you do not just see their workouts. You see how they think, how they operate, and how they approach business, discipline, pressure, and performance. Rodney later trained me professionally, sharpening my communication and my approach to building modular systems.
But there was one thing Rodney always told his clients he could not do: tell carriers what to pay for a loss. And that is exactly what I ended up doing.
I traveled the United States as a Senior Independent Field Adjuster with real authority, determining loss values, writing repair, mitigation, and remediation estimates, and directing carriers on proper payment. Not theory. Not classroom talk. Real field work. Real homes. Real families. Real pressure.
I also spent years working and training with Richard Shivers from Catastrophe Care, learning catastrophe discipline, severe loss triage, and the insurance workflows that only exist when everything is on the line. Richard Shivers also believed in me.
From all of that experience, the hustle, the ownership, the training, and the field authority, I built Freeney Insurance , Freeney Claims , and the Ecosystem-G to create a mapped and modular insurance support system designed to reduce friction, increase accuracy, and accelerate settlement timelines.
And that is where the Ecosystem-G came from.
