Andrew Davis, Head of School, Mount Tamalpais SchoolGentleman. Educator. Outdoorsman. Scholar. For someone as accomplished as Andrew Davis, these words only scratch the surface of his many talents and achievements. As the new Head of School at Mount Tamalpais School, Andrew brings a wealth of education experience to the position: Head of Middle School at Crystal Springs Uplands, and Department Chair at The Hamlin School. It’s no surprise he’s well known—and well beloved—in the Bay Area. A Stanford graduate (he holds three Stanford degrees: BA, MA, MBA), Andrew is as comfortable discussing pedagogy as photography, Longfellow as longboards. He’s passionate about education, as his signature quote attests: “Childhood is not a renewable resource.” You can find him every school day high-fiving students as they get off the bus. As one parent put it: “Andrew is the rare combination of intellectual seriousness, curiosity, creativity, good will, and good fun!” 100 Harvard Avenue, Mill Valley, CA 415.383.9434 l mttam.orgGentleman.

Steve Cerami and Ryan Cerami of Ceramic Tile DesignRemember that recession back in 2009? It was horrible for everyone and yet somehow, Ceramic Tile Design survived. Thinking back on it now, we realize that it is not just how you pick yourself up, but how you fall as well. We did the right thing by our vendors, calling them and working out any late payment scenarios. We did the same for our account customers who could not pay on time. We all took cuts in pay and commissions. We did what was necessary to sustain a bad time. Our integrity remained intact. Now 8 years later, we are proud to report we are thriving through all 3 of our divisions. CTD Commercial has their own new showroom in San Francisco; our distribution through Cerami, Inc. now covers all of CA, and our showrooms are staffed with the most incredibly gifted, intelligent design staff we’ve ever had. Plus, our vast showroom selections have expanded with new art tile factories and many more direct imports from Italy and Spain. Come view the many style choices at Ceramic Tile Design. 846 W.

Vikrum Nijjar, Engineer at Google; Jordis Weaver, PM Global Enterprise Operations at Autodesk; Guido Quaroni, VP Software R&D at Pixar Animations Studios; Eric Brewer, VP of Infrastructure at GoogleAt Marin Waldorf School, parents can provide their children with a stress-free, screen-free, natural childhood, like they had when they were young. School days are filled with wonder, exploration, movement, music and freedom of expression - essential elements to a child’s development. Tech parents believe their children should be engaged in the world around them, not restricted by devices or media messaging. They believe “the classroom of the future is the classroom of the past.” Guido Quaroni, VP Software R&D at Pixar, Board Member and father of three says, “The most interesting people are those who master humanistic views, social skills, collaboration, art and form. We need more problem solvers, critical thinkers and visionaries. The arts and sciences are timeless but today’s computer technology will eventually become obsolete...computers are tools, not a methodology.” Through Marin Waldorf’s creative approach to academics and it ’s dedication to the preservation of childhood, parents feel it uniquely inspires their children’s sense of self and their capacity to shape the future. 755 Idylberry Road, San Rafael, CA 415.479.8190 l marinwaldorf.orgAt Marin Waldorf School, parents can provide their children with a stress-free, screen-free, natural childhood, like they had when they were young.

WELCOME TO THE SECOND ANNUAL FACES OF MARIN. In the following gallery we introduce you to the people behind the businesses that make our county thrive. One of the most coveted places to live in the entire country, Marin County includes miles of shoreline abutting both the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The area's beautiful centerpiece, Mount Tamalpais, is not just a natural setting for hiking and biking and traditions like the Dipsea Race and pancake breakfasts at the Mountain Home Inn; it's also a majestic beacon guiding us home.
Every day we cross paths with countless people as we go about our busy lives. Some we interact with, whether it's a retail transaction or waving to a neighbor walking the dog; others we merely pass as they peek in a shop window or answer an email on their phone. Many of these people are the ones who make your favorite local businesses live and grow. They are the ones you'll see behind the counter, at a desk or on your doorstep. So take a moment to really come face to face with these important Marin personalities. When you think about it, every business is a people business. And it's not just clients and customers; there are important personalities driving the success of every endeavor.
