A former aspiring professional footballer whose life took an unexpected turn after a career-ending injury led him on a spiritual journey from agnosticism to faith.
Born in South America and later immigrating to the United States, he developed a deep passion for storytelling, sports, history, and questions of theology and purpose.
His debut novel, The Soccer Miracle, combines elite youth soccer, friendship, and the power of prayer in a dystopian world. Through young adult fiction with faith-based themes, Orlando explores courage, perseverance, and the possibility of miracles.
