105: Sundays with Tozer Episode 2 | Middle School, High School, & Religion

Justin Tozer is a math and science prodigy who grew up on a farm where formal education was all but prohibited. Yet, somehow Tozer would make his way to the world’s most prestigious firms, first in Silicon Valley and later in Los Alamos at the world’s preeminent scientific lab.

Yet no professional accomplishment compares to the countless lives Tozer has saved, changed, and enhanced.

In this episode we discuss the following:

• Tozer's grade school teacher would constantly bring him broken things to repair.
• Not knowing his birthday...only knowing that it was during the second cutting of hay. 
• Getting paddled in math class for answering too many questions.
• First time he used a baseball bat, he hit the ball, let go of the bat and hit his coach in the chest and knocked him down.
• Tozer's elementary school teacher still has letters on her fridge that Tozer wrote her.
• When Tozer told his counselor he wanted to go to BYU, the counselor asked if he was LDS. Tozer had never had that acronym but thought we was talking about LSD so Tozer responded that he didn’t do drugs. 
• Tozer was the first person in his grade to be accepted to college.
• First time Tozer took the ACT he scored perfect on math and got a 13 in English.
