Corey Crosby
Director of Safety & Risk Management
Teague Insurance
I was born and raised in San Diego and bring over 12 years of experience in the construction industry, with more than a decade specializing in high-level health, safety, and risk management. I have a proven track record of integrating strategic safety initiatives with organizational goals—reducing risk, ensuring compliance, and driving measurable improvements to the company’s bottom line. With a wide range of industry partnerships and extensive safety resources, I am fully invested in building proactive safety cultures that protect both people and business operations.
Outside of work, you can find me fishing competitively in tournaments on my boat for Pelagic species like Tuna, Yellowtail, Mahi-Mahi, and more. When I am not fishing competitively, I am mentoring our next generation of young anglers by volunteering to teach kids how to fish—combining education, safety, and my passion for the outdoors.
