Orlando Shepard is a battle-hardened leader with a proven record forged in some of the world’s most dangerous environments. A U.S. Marine veteran, Orlando completed five combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, where he led high-risk missions under relentless pressure.

After his honorable discharge, Orlando operated as a covert military contractor in volatile Middle Eastern hot zones, training elite military units and safeguarding high-ranking dignitaries, including presidents and royalty.
