These Boston boys have a great history. Twins Matthew and Martin, both firefighters on opposite sides of the country, grew up in South Boston with their pal John. With their good looks, Irish charm and thick Boston accents, these guys seem to be able to sweet talk their ways out of any potential trouble. They joined the hunt to feel like kids again. Will this adventure also bring them to a pot of gold? Strengths: Fierce competitiveness, loyalty. Weaknesses: Small but mighty. Fun Fact: John had a record deal with Atlantic Records in the early 1990s. John  Age: 33 Occupation: Mortgage Consultant Fave TV Show: 24 Fave Movies: A Bronx Tale Fave Book: Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich Hobbies: Football, soccer, weight training John still resides in South Boston where he grew up with his best friends and teammates, the Mullen twins. John graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Boston and now works as a mortgage consultant. John says that he regrets not moving to Los Angeles with the Mullens back in the mid ‘90s. Their friendship as kids was more of a brotherhood and he hopes that the “Treasure Hunters” experience will give him a chance to experience that brotherhood again. Having grown up with six older sisters, twins Matthew and Martin meant the world to him. They became his brothers growing up, and that brotherhood continues, having grown stronger from the intensity of being a part of “Treasure Hunters.” John is very athletic and ultra-competitive. Both he and the twins are driven, smart and focused. They know their intensity will be their edge in leading them to victory.He sends a big shout out to his daughter Isabella Mari and his son John Jr. Matthew  Age: 37 Occupation: Firefighter Fave TV Show: The Contender Fave Movies: Braveheart Fave Book: All Souls by Michael Patrick Macdonald Hobbies: Boxing, hockey, skiing Matthew joins “Treasure Hunters” with his twin brother Martin and best friend John.

The Southie Boys are representing their native Boston and Martin vows that they will give 100% to win “Treasure Hunters.” |
