Academics

Kopff studied at St. Paul's School (Garden City, New York) before attending Haverford College, from which he received his undergraduate diploma summa cum laude. His doctoral degree in Classics was awarded by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Sociopolitical views

He has been described as a paleoconservative, and as such he has cited religious and cultural grounds for supporting capital punishment, and described modern American society as a "leftist hegemony" in a piece encouraging "members of the American Alternative Right" to read the works of the Italian right-wing traditionalist philosopher Julius Evola prior to embarking on his own translation of two of Evola's works analyzing Italian Fascism and Nazism.

Kopff is a member of the H.L. Mencken club, which has been listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a white nationalist organization. He has also contributed to The Occidental Quarterly, which the Southern Poverty Law Center identifies as a white nationalist publication.
