Our Team

Lawrence Kopp

Lawrence Kopp has nearly thirty years of experience in the advocacy and non-profit sectors, in the political and public policy worlds and in the entertainment industry as a trained storyteller and communications expert.

Mr. Kopp founded The TASC Group a decade ago in order to work with the most dynamic and inspiring leaders and organizations in the nonprofit, political advocacy and business worlds. He has worked on some of the most significant and high profile public relations campaigns in the country. He has helped manage multi-million dollar political campaigns at the state and local level and worked on several Presidential campaigns. He has built political grassroots organizations in more than a dozen states. He has appeared as a professional actor in Hollywood blockbuster films, on award winning TV shows and premiered the plays of Pulitzer Prize winning playwrights on major New York and Chicago stages.

He has appeared as a communications expert and policy pundit on major news shows and has been quoted extensively in dozens of major national media outlets, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters and the Associated Press. His writings have appeared in PR Week Magazine.

Mr. Kopp graduated from Phillips Academy Andover and attended the prestigious acting program at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. He also graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Columbia University. He is married to Amy Kaup and as a result considers himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. They have three young, precocious children, Lucas, Riley and Brady, and live in Montclair, NJ.

Amy Ward Kaup

Kamian Allen

Kamian Allen has more than 10 years of experience as a communications specialist for advocacy, non-profit and socially responsible organizations. Kamian has dedicated her career to helping companies succeed in their efforts to effect positive change. With a background in sustainable development, her passion for media studies and love of writing have enabled her to promote and engage in the work of individuals, communities and companies.

Kamian’s tool kit includes empathy and bravado. At the age of 12 she auditioned for J.J. Abram’s first film, Regarding Henry, on a lark and scored a leading role as the daughter of Harrison Ford and Annette Bening. Her experiences in Hollywood confirmed her suspicion that going out on a limb is the best way to reach the sweetest fruit.

Kamian is known for getting it done with a smile, mixing her idioms, laughing from the gut, making almond milk, finding endless joy in animal biology and having a bit of a “thing” for late 70’s décor.

Dave Rosenthal

Dave Rosenthal holds a masters degree in psychology, arming him with the skills necessary to understand and communicate the compelling stories each of our clients have to tell about their important work. A true media junkie, Dave can usually be found devouring political and news blogs as quickly as they can be posted.

Previous to working at TASC, Dave lived in Los Angeles for nine years, where he represented actors, writers, and directors at a Beverly Hills talent management firm. His unique ability to manage public personalities and celebrities along with his desire to help organizations achieve their dreams has aligned with TASC’s mission. Dave is committed to building strong relationships with the media and facilitating public awareness for his clients.

When Dave is not catching breaking news stories, he’s often searching for new recipes to add to his well-organized culinary collection or enjoying life with his wife. Dave and his wife collaborate together on many creative projects and have recently decided that they want a dog.
