Scott Alan Turner, MSDS

I'm a founder and operator who teaches AI and data analytics at the University of Richmond and Weatherford College. I've spent the last 25 years building and running businesses.

In the classroom, I focus on how technology actually gets used inside real organizations - where decisions are imperfect, resources are limited, and outcomes matter. My courses are built around execution, tradeoffs, and judgment, not theory for theory's sake.

Alongside teaching, I have side projects I work on. I'm helping one company incorporate AI to scale toward an exit, and building SportSensAI, an applied AI startup focused on performance and injury reduction. That hands-on work shapes how I think about and teach AI - as a practical tool for real decisions, not something abstract or academic.
