About Us
Corey Wilkins
On the Mic
I started in Commercial Underwriting at SAFECO (now Liberty Mutual) and then went onto be a Marketing Representative. After my wife had twins, I became the Marketing Manager for Kemper Auto & Home Group over Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. After nearly a decade on the independent, corporate side—I started Corey Wilkins Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. in Tacoma, Washington. In 2010, I began teaching national classes for the largest credential-based continuing education provider. As Covid pushed much of the continuing ed. industry on-line, I launched Prestige Worldwide LIVE, out of my home office for those that would rather watch a live session then scroll through screens and take tests! When I’m not at the office, I like to golf, play guitar, and watch the Seattle Mariners lose. I’ve been married for 33 years to my high school sweetheart, and we have fraternal boy/girl twins, two cats that are hers, and a dog named “Doug.”

Leslie Shea
Admin
Leslie grew up with four older brothers and could probably take 76.8% of most men her age in a Greco-Roman three-round wrestling match. Along with her husband and three kids, they live on property overlooking the majestic Mount Rainier and have horses, cows, goats, and chickens. She was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and loves camping, live music, and attending regional rodeos.
Anna Gonzales

Anna has no horses…or chickens…or any livestock, for that matter. She grew up in Tacoma and has over 30 years in the insurance industry. Anna loves people, her grandson, and Def Leppard, Motley Crue, and Guns-N-Roses. She also likes Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain.
Gaylyn Wilson
Custodial Arts
Gaylyn cleans the office. And she’s my mom. From Oakland to Baton Rouge and settling in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, where she raised four boys and a girl. Gaylyn instructs senior aerobics classes twice a week and volunteers in the kitchen at a local Catholic senior facility. She has 14 grandchildren and more vitality than the Energizer™ bunny. She keeps the studio spick and span but doesn’t think I should bring Doug to the office. Because he sheds.
Doug
Office Dog
We call him DougRib$. That’s his street name. He’s a Pomsky. Part Pomeranian—part Husky. We got him during Covid when the kids were both home from college. Doug has two modes: “High-On-Crack” and “Sleep.” That’s it. He’s been featured during the credits of ESPN’s “Daily Wager” and appeared on ROOT Sports Network during the Mariners’ “Where I Root” and “Bark in the Park” segments. Doug can be seen periodically roaming the office and studio. He’s the Office Dog. He does what he wants.
