Elected in the July 2019 General Election as the 3rd president not to come from an elite political or military background, he was the owner of Edelweiss Electronic before he passed it to his cousin, Angelina Edelweiss in 2019 after he was elected as the president, and the chairman of Karimun Association of Youth Businessman from 2018 to 2019 when he also resigned from its position after he was elected, only a year in office.
He was raised in Johenavi in a lower-middle-class family. His father, Martin Edelweiss was a furniture worker while her mother, Giselle Roses, works as a Forest Guard for National Lovial Forest. He attended private school with a scholarship in Giovanni and attended the November Institue of Technology in November.

When the 2019 Presidential registration began, several surveys included his name in their possible presidential candidate, he was in the top five, he denied the possibility and said "a survey is just a survey, I ain't gonna run for the presidency. I'm not gonna use my position in KYAB to endorse a candidate or run for the presidency." until a friend of him who was in Labour Congress Party, Mitch Latrell invited him to join the party and ran for the presidency, he denied and said, "I'll never run for the presidency." which Mitch replied, "Will you run for change then?" Thamrin looked at him and reluctantly accepted the proposal to join the election because of the people not for the Labour Congress Party.
