Although he’s busy with
work, Knopf makes time
every morning for his
second passion: fitness.
Each day, his alarm goes off
at 4:45 a.m. Then, he goes
straight to the gym.
“Growing up super-
religious, I understood the
value and responsibility of
taking care of my body,” he
explains. “I’ve always been
active. I’ve played sports
growing up.”
Knopf is regularly
involved with Come Play
Detroit, a local sports club
that organizes leagues and
activities.
He’s also been involved
with NEXTGen Detroit for
10 years and often chairs
events in and around
Detroit.
“I’m very proud of our

culture and us as people,”
he says of the local Jewish
community. “I like to be
involved and it’s fun.”
Still, despite his busy
schedule, Knopf has never
stopped building things.
In his spare time, he
builds cars and can often
be seen racing them on M1
Concourse, among other
racetracks.
“Things that are fast car-
related, that’s my happy
place,” he says.
It’s the same as houses,
Knopf explains of his love
for cars.
“I bought my first car for
$300 when I was 15, before
I had my license,” he says. “I
taught myself how to fix it
up and sold it for $1,700. I
kept doing that stuff. It’s the
same concept as houses.”
