Team
My name is Cindy Waddle, Founder and CEO of Dezire to Inspire (D2I). I have been married to my spouse, Randy, for 43 years and we reside in Colorado. Randy spent 24 years of our marriage in the military, so we traveled the world together. We have one amazing son, Brandon, who has blessed us beyond measure. I spent 38 years working for the Federal government as a Human Resources (H.R.) Specialist and Manager, most of those years served with the Department of Defense. Later in my career I spent four years managing a H.R. branch within the Department of the Interior before moving to the U.S. Mint at Denver where I served as the H.R. Manager for four years. On numerous occasions I had management oversight of three U.S. Mint H.R. offices simultaneously. One of my proudest accomplishments during my phenomenal career was rising to the rank of GS-14 (one from the top) without a college degree. I retired so that I could make my twelve-year dream of this company come true. My vision for this company is to help you shine a light on the happiest moments in life or show empathy for the most challenging times in life. Our goal is to help you create an unforgettable experience for a chosen friend or family member. Welcome to Dezire to Inspire.
My name is W. Carl Merrell, President and Co-Owner of D2I. I have been married to my spouse, Teresa, for 49 years. Teresa and I reside in Florida, our native sunshine state. We have four children, 11 grandchildren and five great grandchildren that bring much joy and happiness to our family. I graduated from Florida State University (FSU) with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Speech Communications. While attending FSU’s ROTC program I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army as a Signal Corps Officer. The military provided me the training, education, experience, and opportunity to serve in many positions of leadership and management across many disciplines: including Company Command, and various Staff Level Positions in operations. I retired from the military after 20 years at the rank of Major. I am currently an entrepreneur, a small business owner, Chief of Staff of a Charter School, and previous Program Director for the About Face Program, a nationally recognized youth program. I share Cindy’s vision for Dezire to Inspire of employing positive words of encouragement to improve the wellness and quality of life for others. It is an honor to be a part of this company.
My name is Sean Collins, Director of Marketing. I grew up in a small Kansas town with great people to admire, and spare time to think. After leaving town to go on adventures (and college) I came back to make a life. Now I dabble with drums and videography, run a small marketing firm, volunteer for music education, and I’m freshly married with two little ones. I received my bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Kansas University. I jumped at the opportunity to work with my “framily” at D2I so that I could make a difference in the hearts of people beyond my circle. I hope that what we do makes life better for as many people as possible.
