David Hobby is owner of Hobby Auction Service, a business he has ran since 1980.
David has always been a "natural auctioneer" starting around the age of 12. His sons JD and Travis have the same gift.
JD has been able to call since he was able to talk after seeing his dad in action. David completed auctioneer school in Kansas City, Missouri, an intensive two week program.
David's business is a family affair, with his brother and father helping at the auctions as well as his sister and sister-in-law, his mother, and aunt all contributing, to name a few.
A few of the auctions he works covers about a 50 mile radius of La Harpe.
Auctions he works covers livestock, real estate, farm equipment, and household items.
David is the auctioneer, as well as the man, that sets up the advertisement work, the sale bills and the set up of the auction.
His office is in his home at: 2975 North County Road 3000 in La Harpe. His phone number is: 217-659-3208.
David is married to Susan Hobby and the couple have two sons, JD, who is a senior at La Harpe High and Travis, who is fourteen.
