With a bachelor's degree in computer science, Orlando Guevara began his career as an analyst for Xerox, working closely with the company's top clients. However, in 2004, he took an unexpected turn into the inflatable rental industry, where he quickly discovered a critical need — a reliable inflatable repair service. Determined to fill this g ap, Orlando and his wife launched Stitches for Bounces LLC in 2009, providing expert inflatable repair services to clients across the United States. Over the years, Stitches for Bounces has earned a reputation as a trusted name in the entertainment industry, serving clients across the United States. Orlando has repaired over 8,000 inflatables and has also worked with manufacturers, providing warranty repairs to ensure their products meet high standards. As demand grew, many of his clients expressed a need to learn how to fix their own inflatables. Seeing an opportunity to empower businesses, Orlando began teaching repair techniques, helping rental companies reduce costs and minimize downtime.
