Aaron D. Knopp is currently a graduate student at California State University, San Marcos (CSUSM), pursuing a Master of Arts (M.A.) Degree in History. He currently holds a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Degree in History from CSUSM, awarded in Spring 2011, and an Associate of Arts (A.A.) Degree in Liberal Arts from Palomar College, also in San Marcos, awarded in Spring 2006.
He was born in Escondido, California, just east of San Marcos, and lived there for almost twelve and a half years altogether — three and a half years in the southern portion and nearly nine years in the northern portion. He then moved to Poway (just southeast of Escondido), where he presently resides. He also currently works part-time at the Vons grocery store in Rancho Bernardo.
The oldest of four children, Aaron has a sister and fraternal twin brothers, all of whom also have degrees from universities in southern California (although all of their degrees are from different universities), as well as a brother-in-law. In his spare time, he enjoys taking walks around his neighborhood, listening to the radio, and researching various topics online.
