A History of Expertise and Resilient Leadership

Real-World, Hands-On Experience

Angie brings over 4 and a half years of specialized industry expertise to the forefront of Freedom Storage Inc. Her journey is defined by true owner-operator dedication. Alongside her husband, Denny McCowan, Angie literally built the facility from the ground up. In the company’s critical early days, Angie and her daughter personally managed the day-to-day facility operations for the first six months, gaining invaluable, grassroots insight into exactly what tenants need from a storage partner. To maintain the highest standards in the industry, Angie actively participates in continuous learning and professional development through the California Mini Storage Association, ensuring the facility adopts the latest advancements in security and digital account management.

Overcoming Challenges and Driving Success

Angie’s exceptional problem-solving skills were put to the ultimate test when Freedom Storage Inc. officially opened its doors on January 1st, 2022—right in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Navigating unprecedented public health guidelines and rapid surges in community demand, Angie’s strategic oversight enabled the facility to reach 100% capacity within its very first three months.

Instead of merely sustaining this momentum, she successfully adapted to evolving market demands by executing a continuous expansion plan, managing the construction of a brand-new storage building every single year to accommodate local families and growing businesses.
