Gilmore, having several first round draft picks over the years as well as multiple Pro-Bowlers he has consistently recognized players who can contribute in the NFL which is what has led to his success.
Gilmore started his company Day1 in 2017 with the vision of taking his goals and values on how to help players and make that dream a reality. The sports industry has become familiar with the P.L.A.N program Gilmore developed which helped players to develop relationships throughout the NFL and in corporate America and get jobs going forward in that industry.
“I have a passion for my clients, for football, and working to help them achieve their goals on the field and be men that the world will consider leaders off the field. I want to build an agency that reflects those values”.
– Gilmore
Gilmore has been married for 24 years to Camille Gilmore, Vice President, Human Resources and Global Chief Diversity Officer at Boston Scientific Corporation. They have two sons, Dantae (18) who will attend The University of Alabama and Deion (17) who will be a senior at North Gwinnett High School.
