Casey Cavell, Managing Partner
Casey was born on June 11, 1985 to Bruce & Joy Cavell in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Cavell’s made their home in the quiet town of North Webster, Indiana. It was here that Casey developed a love for the game of baseball. An All-State scholar athlete at Fort Wayne’s Concordia Lutheran High School, Casey learned the values of hard work, discipline, and teamwork that he still incorporates into his business practices today. After playing baseball for 2 years at Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana, Casey transferred to Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana to pursue Entrepreneurial studies.
At the age of 22, Casey caught the Entrepreneurial bug and purchased a poorly managed apartment complex, turned it around, and has been an Entrepreneur ever since.
From 2006-2014, Casey successfully bought, managed, and sold five different companies that he solely founded. The businesses ranged from retail centers, apartment complexes, self-storage facilities, and baseball and softball academies. Casey has specialized in purchasing under-performing businesses and installing systems that increase productivity, efficiency, and improve the bottom line.
In 2012, Casey became the founder of a D-BAT franchise in Atlanta, Georgia, where he quickly turned that location into the Franchise of the Year in its first year of business. He lived and worked in the business for a year and personally crafted his award-winning and duplicable system that he now shares with our aspiring D-BAT owners and operators.
In 2014, Casey partnered with Chad Merrill and Mike Moye to create Impact 2:52 Management, LLC. The main purpose of this partnership is to help others fulfill their personal and professional aspirations. The company’s systems, processes, and infrastructure have positioned the company to have a major impact on the lives of the people they lead.
Casey is most importantly thankful for God’s grace on his life that has led him to a personal relationship with his Savior, Jesus Christ.

Robin Merrill, Executive Partner
Robin is an Executive Partner with Impact 2:52 and leads our Professional Coaching and Leadership Development practice. As a Senior Associate with GiANT Worldwide she consults with individuals & executive teams to maximize their influence and effectiveness. Robin plays an important role with all our partner companies.
The GiANT Worldwide leadership design works because we use a “leadership language’’ that is a common, viral vocabulary, combined with “visual tools” that are simple, scalable and sustainable to produce transformation in personal growth and team effectiveness. This approach creates a “multiplication process” within a company so that everyone is informed, trained, coached or apprenticed.
We believe that the core to leadership development and life transformation is serving others and being a liberator to all those you have influence on by giving them high support and high challenge that comes from a heart of genuine love and concern.
Impacting and influencing those around me has been my ultimate goal in life. I have had the privilege of mentoring, discipling and coaching teenagers and young adults along with parents and families in order to promote healthier perspectives and better communication.
One of my most enjoyable experiences I have had throughout my life was while working for Emory Healthcare when I was a part of developing and implementing the Department of Care Transformation. During this time, I enjoyed integrating patients and families into significant conversations and decision making processes all throughout the Emory Healthcare system.
I am incredibly passionate about being intentional with relationships and partnering with organizations that invest in others, such as the two boards that I serve on: Faithful Servants Mission (Costa Rica & Panama) and Peace Preparatory Academy (Atlanta).
