Metcalf is the son of Tommy and Mary Ann Metcalf and a sixth-generation resident of Montgomery County. He completed his education through the Conroe Independent School District and Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, from which he received a degree in Criminal Justice. Now in the banking industry, he is the vice-president and director of business development at the Spirit of Texas Bank in Conroe, in which capacity he is involved in commercial lending and real estate investment. Metcalf is affiliated with the Greater Conroe Economic Development Council, the Conroe Industrial Development Corporation, the Conroe Family YMCA, and the Montgomery County Fair Association.

Metcalf entered the race to succeed incumbent Representative Brandon Creighton of Conroe, who instead ran successfully in a special election for the Texas State Senate for the position vacated by Republican Tommy Williams. In a six-candidate field, Metcalf finished second to opponent Ted Seago, 6,840 (41.8 percent) to 7,129 (43.6 percent). In the runoff election on May 27, Metcalf defeated Seago, 8,914 (62.1 percent) to 5,448 (37.9 percent), to win the nomination.
