OrLando co-led the Yale School of Management Christian Fellowship 2004/2005. OrLando’s strength and passion are in creating environments for high growth and achievement. His research interests include genetic and environmental impact on health and disease, and the role of leadership skill in creating success and positive change. OrLando and Rashele, with their daughter, are members of Church On The Rock, New Haven where they have been co-leaders of the young adult ministry since 2004. OrLando was ordained by Pastors Todd and Leslie Forster in 2015.
