We go back to Orlando this week in our Employee Spotlight. While most of our employees are gamers in some form, Rich takes it to another level. When he’s not repairing devices at iFixYouri at The Mall at Millenia, he’s beating Ganon in record time…literally. Rich (or Richie) is a speedrunner, a member of a community dedicated to playing through (mostly retro) video games at lightning speed. He’s ranked in the top 3 for beating The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Super Nintendo, among others. Fitting hobby for a repair tech whose first-ever repair was on an old-school Nintendo system. He loves seeing customers smile when he hands their once-broken iPhone back in perfect working condition. “There’s a slight moment,” according to Rich, “where you really feel like the hero.” Probably feels a lot like Link holding up the Master Sword, huh?
