Draft:Denali Thiel

Denali Thiel was born in Atlanta Georgia and raised in central Pennsylvania. Denali became involved in Politics at a young age by the mentorship of a small town township board. While still a teenager, Denali was taken under the wing of a board member and was privileged with a seat alongside his mentor, which allowed him to observe the township board's dealings and procedural nature. Additionally, Denali immersed himself in local politics, attending local township meetings, small-town government elections, and town hall events.

Upon graduation from high school, Denali attended Geneva College earning Dean's list and several other accolades. While in the college's Honor's Program, Denali also revived the previously inactive Geneva College Pre-law and held a position as club president. During the summer of his sophomore year, Denali transferred from Geneva College to Duquesne University, where he holds a senior class in Political Science, pursuing Business and Pre-law certificates.

Denali's other ventures include launching KarmaWay LLC, which he founded at age 19. KarmaWay is a clothing brand dedicated to spreading positivity and alleviating suffering. Denali crafted the brand to have meaning beyond simply looking good. As he stated, "That's why we created a clothing store that combines stylish designs with uplifting messages and a meaningful impact. For every purchase made, we donate a portion of the proceeds to a charity that aligns with our values. Our goal is to create a brand that not only looks good but also does good. We are passionate about making a difference in the world and we hope to inspire our customers to do the same.... Ultimately, I want our supporters to feel proud wearing KarmaWay products, knowing that they are contributing to making a difference, a difference that will better the world. By buying from KarmaWay, they become ambassadors of positivity and charity, united by a cause that goes beyond the clothes they wear. That is the purpose of our mission."-Denali Thiel.
