In 1969 Rob Hart was a junior draftsman for Walt Disney World.  By 1983, he was project manager of a 2,700-acre resort with 2 miles of oceanfront.  In 2005 he created HartMarin to combine 5 generations of local Marin County conservation with 30 years of intense real estate development experience.  In 2006, HartMarin was the first private developer to build lower income single-family affordable housing with no public funds, tax credits or subsidies.
