Active UAA Alumnus<br />
Ian Wheeles<br />
Big things are in store for Ian Wheeles,<br />
UAA ’04. A catalyst for the Anchorage<br />
community, this young leader is an<br />
eager pr<strong>of</strong>essional, active volunteer and<br />
philanthropist.<br />
After a stint at a college Outside, Wheeles<br />
came back home to pursue a career in<br />
law and enrolled in UAA’s political science<br />
program. “Anchorage is my hometown; I’ve<br />
had Seawolf spirit since I was a kid,” Wheeles<br />
said.<br />
After earning his bachelor’s degree,<br />
Wheeles attended law school in Idaho. He<br />
returned home to work as an associate<br />
attorney and started his own practice in<br />
2009. “I’ve always loved the idea <strong>of</strong> building<br />
my own business.”<br />
Ultimately, Wheeles went to school to help<br />
people. He believes in giving as much as<br />
possible and makes it a priority to share his<br />
experience with others. He established a<br />
scholarship at UAA to help students facing<br />
social or economic barriers achieve their<br />
dreams <strong>of</strong> a college education, and, in turn,<br />
help others.<br />
“Everything you do affects your neighbors,”<br />
he said. “ I feel that it’s my calling to help<br />
people.”<br />
Wheeles has done a lot for a 27-year-old<br />
and he doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon.<br />
“I’ve always been interested in politics and<br />
plan to run for governor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Alaska</strong> someday,”<br />
he said. He also plans to try his hand in real<br />
estate investing and recently purchased his<br />
first four-plex.<br />
