Freedom First

Doesn’t get much better than this! Texas is quickly becoming the epicenter of investment, technology and good governance. With the 8th largest economy in the world, it’s hard to ignore success. Imagine this replicated on a global scale, Freedom First will bring the values and knowledge of Texas to emerging markets around the world.

Throughout travels to Libya, the thing that always stands out is the people and the immense potential of the region. At Freedom First our goal is to show the true Libya and the heart and soul of its people. Our journey begins in the Mediterranean city of Tripoli, a destination brimming with tourism and culinary significance. Stay tuned for more inspiring stories and unforgettable experiences as we navigate through this historic country.

Freedom First President Ryan Manicom, Vice Chairman Ted Hogan and Chief of Staff Alison Hollingsworth traveled to the Texas State Capitol this week to sign the first of its kind MoU with Permian Basin Representative Brooks Landgraf.?This agreement will allow Freedom First to harness the experience, resources, and technologies that have made Texas and the Permian Basin the most prolific oil and gas basin in the world. As Freedom First continues its mission, this strategic partnership will be utilized to accelerate energy development and generate significant economic benefits for both Texas and our partner countries.?Small and mid-size Texas companies will now have greater access to new opportunities, and National Oil Companies and Ministries will have a platform to invest directly into Texas (Permian Basin) and facilitate training initiatives that will empower the next generation of leaders. "Freedom First has long been a vision to bridge the gaps in the development of emerging markets, with American ingenuity. With a focus on energy, we aim to harness the experience and lessons learned from the Permian Basin. The rapid growth and technical innovation of this part of Texas is unprecedented and embodies the moral values Freedom First aims to lead globally. Our team is the best of the best in every facet of energy development, all with a shared vision of investing directly into new markets, educating the local workforce and empowering the next generation of private sector leaders." ? ~Ryan Manicom, President/CEO Jim Govenlock, Phillip Campbell, Adam Cole, Jason Clark, Troy Harrell, Bryce Harrell, Pat Manicom #Texas #PermianBasin #invest #educate #empower #emergingmarkets?

Just finished a great week in Tripoli, lots of senior meetings, but the thing that always stands out are the people. Libya is a hidden gem that is continually plagued by bad press and bad memories. At Freedom First our goal is to change this narrative and show everyone the true Libya, a country with rich history and hard working people that deserve better. This is just the beginning, much more to come soon. Freedom First

Freedom First was excited to be a part of Libya Energy & Economic Summit’s very first AmCham Pavilion alongside 18 other US based companies dedicated to advancing energy initiatives.?Thanks to Debbie Hirst and all involved for their hard work coordinating this event.?We look forward to participating in future events with AmCham Libya - The American Chamber of Commerce in Libya . #Libya #AmCham #LEES2025 #USEnergySector #OilandGas

Freedom First congratulates President Trump and Vice President Vance on a historic victory, ushering in a new era of American prosperity. We couldn’t agree more with Mr. Witkoff and his approach to foreign policy.?Despite aid intentions, they often perpetuate a cycle of corruption and instability.?Our approach intervenes by investing directly in neglected markets, empowering them to rightfully emerge as energy producers, creating an economic partnership that reduces disruptions brought on by external factors. We look forward to this much needed change and stand ready to support our partners. #foreignpolicy #diplomacy #accountability #economicprosperity #stability?

At Freedom First, 2024 has been truly unique and our achievements would not have been possible without our incredible team spread across Texas, Oklahoma, and Libya.?Our team faced challenges and experienced many moments of redirection, but what lies ahead is promising and the future is bright. As we begin 2025, Freedom First will continue to uphold its mission and values and stand by our customers, partners, and colleagues as we spearhead an energy resurgence that is committed to bringing balance and stability to every region we serve. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and continued success in the year ahead!
