Today we’d like to introduce you to Dudley Guice, Jr.
Dudley, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I grew up in Mississippi where I was a high school honor student and star athlete in football, basketball, and track. I went on to Northwestern State University on a full athletic scholarship. I graduated “Summa Cum Laude” with a bachelor’s in criminal justice and minor in Psychology. During my time at Northwestern, I was a standout wide receiver. I attended NSU pro-day and was scouted by several NFL teams due to an outstanding workout. Upon graduation, I signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent. After a brief stint with the Titans, I went on to play in the CFL with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Due to a productive season with the Blue Bombers, I was contacted by the Indianapolis Colts for a private workout. After running a 4.34 forty-yard dash in front of Jim Caldwell, I signed with the Colts the following day. The following year, I suffered an ACL injury with the Colts and was waived shortly after. After a successful rehab, I then returned to the CFL to play with the Calgary Stampeders. I received another knee injury and was later waived. I moved to Atlanta where I pursued a career in law enforcement for several years. I have always been an advocate for fitness and healthy living. I made a career decision to leave law enforcement to pursue my passion and become a full time certified personal trainer. I am currently helping my clients transform their minds and body.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I have been met with most of the challenges that new business owners go through. Such as marketing, creating and executing my brand without assistance. I firmly believe that with continued consistency, dedication, and hard work my business will continue to be a success.
