Mike Barash

Mike built Knock Twice to work intimately with start-ups, and to deliver killer results without breaking the bank. Mike spent years running accounts at some of the best tech PR agencies out there, went in-house to run marketing for a start-up, then took the best from each experience to bring Knock Twice to bear. As CEO, Mike wears many hats, often all at once. Key piece of start-up advice: schedule your workouts like meetings. Mike lives in San Francisco, and loves it.

Jeff Lind

Jeff is our version of The Wolf from Pulp Fiction. After starting his career on Wall Street at Goldman Sachs and Co., Jeff transitioned through roles in mergers and acquisitions in New York & Denver, and into corporate development positions for two of the fastest growing companies in Colorado. In addition to helping run business development, operations, and strategy (for our financial clients), Jeff wrangles all things black ops at Knock Twice, makes sure we don’t mess things up, and gets us paid. In his spare time, Jeff plays music, writes for ESPN’s Truehoop Network, reads, travels, wakeboards, and plays various sports. But that’s it. Jeff lives with his wife, two sons, and daughter in Texas.

Kyle Monson

Kyle’s brain is big and weird, and we love it. Kyle was a working journalist and editor for almost a decade, writing for Newsweek and several blogs and newspapers, and spending almost six years at PC Magazine. In 2009, Kyle left PC Mag to join JWT as editor in chief of the ad agency's brand journalism efforts. While there, Kyle kicked major ass. He also ran a dozen sponsored sites in conjunction with partners like Ars Technica, Forbes, and IDG. In his spare time, Kyle plays music and gigs with his band in New York City. His music has been used for several national ad campaigns and high-profile network TV shows, including NBC's Olympics telecasts, and the NBA on TNT (Kyle will take you Haier). Kyle lives in New York City with his wife and daughter.

Colin Crook

Since then, Colin has helped entrepreneurs launch their vision on stage at events like DEMO and TechCrunch Disrupt. He loves working alongside people who are passionately building things. He understands ‘he doesn't know everything, but that neither do you.’ Let's collaborate and make a difference. That's what is really fun.

Jarmila Henn

Jarmila joined the Knock Twice team in early 2012. She brings a background of marketing and event planning from smorgasbord of fields, including social gaming, photography, and investor relations. Born and raised in Slovakia, she’s now lived in the Bay Area for more than 10 years. Jarmila is the adventurous one in the office; in her spare time, she loves to scuba dive, travel and she enjoys photography.

Liz Logan

You might have seen Liz's writing on everything from Disney princesses (Ariel is her favorite) to offal (she just can't get enough chopped liver) in mags such as Time, O, The Oprah Magazine, Editor & Publisher, Poets & Writers and Time Out Chicago. Before joining Knock Twice, Liz was the founding editor at Make It Better, a Chicago-area lifestyle mag and website that she helped launch as a grad student at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. She lives in Brooklyn, where she spends her free time hitting up local bakeries and knitting absurdly complicated socks.
