A retired military officer with more than three decades of service, Col. Reese Turner (Ret.) is the co-creator of Boots2Lead, a seven week leadership boot camp designed to instill 14 principles of leadership, while experiencing the physical and mental rigors of a military-type boot camp workout, coupled with learning 7 principles in fitness, at Proformance Health & Well-Being in Louisville, Kentucky. He is also an indoor cycling instructor where he motivates up to 50 riders at one time to push themselves physically and mentally, for both CycleBar locations in Louisville, Kentucky. Additionally, Col. Reese Turner is a longtime member of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA).
MOAA provides many support services to military members and their families. One of the most important is the MOAA Educational Assistance Program and Scholarship Fund, which helps children of military members fund their undergraduate education through scholarships and loans with no interest. The fund has been in place for more than 70 years, and is made possible through donations from corporate partners, MOAA members, and fundraising events.
One such event is the Jeff Peck Memorial Golf Classic in Clifton, Virginia. In 2019, the annual function brought in $70,000 to help provide for scholarships and loans through the program.
