OWN THE NIGHT
Dan Hopkins
Founder
Dan started Knuckle Lights because he was looking for an alternative to a headlamp while training in the early morning hours for his first half marathon. He soon realized that there were a lot of other runners and walkers looking for a similar solution and Knuckle Lights quickly grew from selling solely on an upstart website, to many running specialty stores across the country as well as on some of the biggest online retailers.Â
In addition to running the daily operations of Knuckle Lights, Dan remains busy raising 3 boys alongside his wife of 23 years.
