Art Hobba

Transform the Man, Transform the Family


Art Hobba is the Founder and President of Core 300, a California-registered 501c3 non-profit corporation, and Principle Based Leadership (PBL), a Kenya-based NGO training, health, and economic development organization. 

His calling was clarified by a vivid, life-changing dream in 1978 where God invited him to follow Him as a “father to the fatherless.” Since that time he has led a zig-zag pathway that included both business and pastoral leadership. He founded Core 300 in 2010.

This “Divine Movement’ is based upon the biblical principle that men are the key to either great evil or a greater good, and it has awakened and empowered over 46,000 men who have taken their transformation into the heart of their family. The Core 300 movement is expanding and carried forward today through 100’s of Native certified Coordinators

Hobba’s background includes several senior management roles, and a 17-year stint as a strategic management consultant where Art raised the bar through assessment, coaching, and companywide cultural transformation.

Since 2017, his sole focus has been to bring transformative training and follow-on holistic development of men who transform their family, churches, prison systems, and government. In 2022 the movement leaped from Kenya to Uganda, and into the DRC (Congo). Meanwhile, new fires started in Bolivia and Myanmar. 

In the Spring of 2023, Core 300 relaunched its mission in the US where it began in 2010. Here, like in Africa, they are forming partnerships to heal the “fatherless-wound” that continues to destroy and victimize our Black and Brown Urban families.
