Tony Browner grew up south of Chicago, graduating from Lincoln Way North high school, and got his associates in Applied Mathematics from Joliet Junior college before transferring to Iowa State University. At Iowa State University he switched from Chemical Engineering to Mathematics after finding more enjoyment in tutoring than programming. During his practicum, he recognized that he wanted to teach in the city after his student teaching went pleasantly in Des Moines Iowa. He got his Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics May of 2022 and joined the SFDS family soon after. He understands that building a strong community is important and is involved in the lifting club and gaming club, two things that carried over from ISU. During his breaks it is common to find him tutoring, playing basketball, or playing games with students.
