Mr. Turner graduated from the University of Chattanooga with a B.A. in Psychology. He has worked in the construction industry since 1957 when he began working part-time with his father. Later, he started his own company, and was licensed as a Florida state certified residential contractor in 1987. He is also a Florida state certified roofing contractor. Both licenses are current.

Through the years, he has worked on construction projects in Florida, South Carolina, and in various parts of the Caribbean, including St. Croix and St. Thomas.
