Early Life and Education
Early experiences have an enormous influence on children’s brain architecture and ability to learn, which is why UNESCO considers early childhood education to be such a worthy investment, with lasting effects for future learning, behavior, and health outcomes.
Children learn through play and activities for the first eight years of life, making this period essential in their development as they gain an awareness of themselves and develop relationships with others.
An effective school-family partnership is key for successful early education outcomes, providing children with consistent, responsive caregiving relationships as well as safe environments that support child development.

Personal Life

Neil Henderson, another classmate from Des Moines Roosevelt High School, remembers Knapp as being “ornery, yet friendly.” As sixth-graders they would throw eggs at passing cars until one would slow down enough for them to chase each other around and throw more.
Knapp’s grief over Brian’s leukemia death left an insurmountable gap in his life that never quite filled itself up again, yet he found solace through work and faith – being an active community builder, serving on several boards, including St Jude’s Episcopal Church in Cupertino California as trustee and board member, where he found great peace.
