Mary Galvan
Account Manager –Commercial

mary@metzlerbros.com
On Mary’s first day, she was greeted by two generations of Metzlers. Since that day in 1978, she has gladly accepted the challenges thrown her way, earning her Certified Insurance Service Representative (CISR) designation, and effectively keeping the likes of Gary Morgan, Mark Simcosky and Brian Whitaker in line - not an easy task, but one Mary handles with poise. Not one to rest on her laurels, Mary manages her personal time around three dogs, and an award-winning part-time gig.
Cindy Hawdon
Account Manager – Commercial

cindyh@metzlerbros.com
Cindy lives every moment, and then some – building a log cabin by hand, golfing, bowling, painting, tap dancing, karaoke-ing, sky diving, ballooning, and white water rafting – all are entries in her journal. But wait, there’s more. In her 30 years of insurance experience, she has earned the CPCU, ALCM, ARM, and AIAF designations, and has worked every angle of insurance from direct writer companies to national brokerages to independent agencies. Then in 2003, Cindy joined Metzler and found what her career had been missing: a unique agency as individual as she is.

gingerr@metzlerbros.com
Ginger has been in the insurance industry for 8 years, earning both her Property & Casualty, and Life & Health licenses along the way.

Linda Coons
Account Manager – Personal
816-285-4518
linda@metzlerbros.com
Linda’s degree in Education didn't quite set her career toward teaching, but rather, toward learning. Linda loves to acquire new skills, having been an Underwriter, Supervisor, and Quality Review Specialist for 25 years; obtaining her general casualty/property license. Since joining Metzler Bros. in 2000, she has continued to learn and grow. She has even found herself drawing on her degree and her insurance background to help educate others - especially those not yet aware of Metzler Bros.

Executive Administrative Assistant

jeanh@metzlerbros.com
For more than 15 of her 20 years in insurance, Jean has been the helpful, friendly face of Metzler Bros. Her role as receptionist occupies only a portion of her time, however. Jean's business days are also spent performing duties as administrative assistant and licensing coordinator for the office. When she's not helping to manage the day-to-day at Metzler Bros., Jean fills her time with personal hobbies such as gardening, golfing, and crocheting; and community service activities, including her role on the steering committee for AIDS Walk KC.
