As the founder of Ursa Optical, a popular eye care practice in downtown Anchorage, Dr. Volland has been dedicated to providing exceptional optical services since 2019. Inspired by the Alaskan night sky and the constellation Ursa Major, Dr. Volland believes in the power of teamwork in eye care and community service, stating, “Just like it takes many stars to make up a constellation, good eye care is a team effort.”

He has traveled to over 30 Alaskan communities, providing essential eye care services in schools, laundromats, bingo halls, and more, demonstrating his commitment to accessibility in healthcare.

He currently serves as Vice President of the South Addition Community Council and has been involved in various committees, including the “Moving Forward” Committee and the Plan Comment Review Committee. His efforts were recognized when he was awarded the 2021 “Anchorage Young Professional of the Year” by the Anchorage Chamber’s Young Professional Group.

As he embarks on his re-election campaign, Dr. Volland remains dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all Anchorage residents, promoting both health and community engagement.
