Meet the Team / Alyssa Black

What brought you to Eldredge & Lumpkin?

My husband got a job on Chatham Fire Dept. a few years ago which prompted our move to this end of the Cape, from Barnstable.  We then bought a house in the area and I continued to commute to my prior job.  I finally decided it was time to establish myself in the community that we would be living & raising our kids (one day) in.  I started looking for insurance jobs in the area and this job ended up falling into my lap at the perfect time, so I knew it was meant to be.

What do you do on the weekends?

I can be found at the beach on any nice weekend day.   I like to spend free time on the weekends with my dog, Jack, & my husband (I guess I should include him too).  I have also been teaching myself to cook during the winter weekend months.

Where did you grow up/How did you end up on the Cape?

I am born and raised on the Cape—I grew up in Centerville.  I moved to Florida for a few years but I came back!

What’s the best tip you can give to a customer?

When looking at various coverages, on any type of policy, don’t think “I don’t need that, that will never happen to me.”  I have seen such bizarre/awful claims.  Anything can be happen, so why not be prepared for it!
