He holds a BA in Mass Communication from Cal State University Hayward and an MA in Organizational Management from University of Phoenix. Turner has co-authored peer-reviewed articles on ethical pitfalls in female engagement, action research for Afghan governance, and "Ground Truth" in military operations involving Islam, state-building, and NATO.
