“A referral is what originally put us in contact with Metzler Bros. Insurance. They have excellent, excellent service. We are a nation-wide firm and we use Metzler Bros. for all of our insurance needs - auto, workmen's comp, commercial package, 401k, health, dental, umbrella policies and more. Our ongoing insurance needs have run smoothly because Metzler Bros. has been there to take care of us.”

A native of Hammond, Indiana, John earned a BS at Rutgers, and MBA from Rider University.

Along with such a noteworthy history, John brought his exuberance and humor to Metzler Bros. in 2004.
