Anthony Metivier

Principal & Licensed Insurance Agent | Anthony Metivier & Associates

Anthony Metivier is a highly accomplished insurance professional with more than 30 years of experience spanning personal lines, commercial lines, underwriting, agency management, and field sales. Over the course of a distinguished career, he has built a reputation as a trusted, results-driven leader — one who combines an encyclopedic knowledge of the New York insurance marketplace with an unwavering commitment to the clients he serves. Based in Queensbury, NY, Anthony founded Anthony Metivier & Associates to bring that same depth of expertise, integrity, and hands-on guidance directly to individuals, families, and businesses throughout the Capital Region and beyond.

Anthony's career began at The Travelers Insurance Company, where he was quickly promoted through three distinct roles — from Personal Lines Underwriter to Training Coordinator to Team Manager — overseeing a team of more than 30 employees in a high-volume call center environment. That foundation in both technical underwriting and people leadership set the stage for a remarkable journey through some of the industry's most respected names. As an Agency Training Specialist and Territory Sales Manager with Encompass/Allstate Insurance, he championed personal insurance products across more than 150 independent agency locations in upstate New York, earning Allstate's prestigious Circle of Success Award in both 2006 and 2007, as well as the Outstanding Sales Performer Award — a testament to his ability not only to produce, but to inspire those around him. He went on to build a personal lines agency from the ground up for AAA Northway, growing its book of business from $900,000 to nearly $2 million in just two years. At Safeco Insurance, a Liberty Mutual company, he managed a $25 million written premium portfolio across more than 150 agency locations, consistently sustaining retention rates well above 90%. Most recently, as Senior Territory Manager at Berkshire Hathaway GUARD Insurance Companies, Anthony surpassed sales objectives by a wide margin — achieving 137% of his annual goal — before joining Foremost Insurance Company as a Territory Manager in 2025. Throughout his tenure at Glens Falls National Insurance Agencies, he managed a large commercial book of business serving municipalities, schools, fire districts, non-profits, churches, hotels, restaurants, and marinas — maintaining annual client retention rates of approximately 98%, year after year.

What truly distinguishes Anthony is his perspective as an independent advisor. Because he is not beholden to any single carrier, he has the ability to shop dozens of top-rated companies on a client's behalf — ensuring that each individual or business receives the right coverage at the most competitive price available. His expertise spans the full spectrum of commercial lines, including Workers' Compensation, Professional Liability, Commercial Auto, Business Owners Policies (BOP), Commercial Umbrella, and Property & Liability — as well as personal lines products such as auto, homeowners, life, and health insurance. Anthony's approach is consultative by nature: he takes the time to truly understand each client's circumstances, risks, and goals before making a recommendation. He works for the client — not the insurance company — and has built his practice on honest, transparent, and personalized guidance that clients can rely on for the long term.

A proud member of the Queensbury and greater Capital Region community, Anthony is deeply committed to supporting the local businesses, families, and organizations that make this region thrive. He believes that insurance is about far more than policies and premiums — it is about protecting people's livelihoods, their homes, their businesses, and their peace of mind. Whether you are a small business owner seeking comprehensive commercial coverage, a family looking to safeguard what matters most, or an organization navigating complex risk, Anthony Metivier brings the expertise, the access, and the personal dedication to get it right. He warmly invites you to reach out and discover what a truly client-first insurance relationship can look like.
