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.

Views
Kopff was described by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in 2008 as one of the "notable academic racists" leading the H.L. Mencken Club, of which he was vice president. He has contributed to The Occidental Quarterly, described by the SPLC as a far-right race journal, and Social Contract, an anti-immigrant publication.

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 for a white nationalist publication encouraging "members of the American Alternative Right" to read the works of the Italian far-right philosopher Julius Evola prior to embarking on his own translation of two of Evola's works on Italian Fascism and Nazism.
