He is currently a coach for the Palm Beach Cardinals.
Gilkey played basketball at St. Louis's University City High School and signed a letter of intent to play college basketball for Drake University.

In 1989, Gilkey led the league with 53 stolen bases and 109 runs while playing for the Double-A Arkansas Travelers.
In 1990, he led the league with 75 walks while playing with Triple-A Louisville Redbirds and eventually reached the MLB team.
