Randy and Lisa Hobson’s story is a testament to hard work, perseverance, and the power of unity. Married in 2014, they brought two families together, creating a vibrant legacy of five children and twelve grandchildren.

Randy’s journey began at just 15 years old, detailing vehicles with passion and dedication. By 17, while still in high school, he took the bold step of starting his own business. In the early ’90s, he expanded his skill set to include Paintless Dent Repair, continually striving to grow and improve.

In 2015, Lisa joined him on this entrepreneurial journey, mastering Interior Repair and working alongside Randy as they traveled the country repairing hail-damaged vehicles. Lisa’s keen eye for organization soon became the backbone of their growing business, ensuring their operations ran smoothly as they assisted countless shops nationwide.

However, after four years of life on the road, Lisa recognized that her heart was drawn to a different kind of service. In 2019, she joined the local hospital, where she continues to make a difference every day. Her dedication to volunteering wherever there’s a need reflects her unwavering commitment to serving others.

Together, Randy and Lisa have built a life centered on love, resilience, and the desire to help others. Their journey reminds us that with hard work and a heart for service, challenges can be transformed into opportunities, and every step forward can inspire those around us.
