These three brothers used to play college football and are competitive by nature. They plan to make up for their large size by relaying on their brains, wit, humor and lifetime of playing competitive sports. They are a team of real-life treasure hunters/mystery solvers who enjoy discussing Einstein’s theories of the universe for fun! Strengths: Intuition, team work, analytical thought. Weaknesses: Physical shape, impulsiveness. Fun Fact: Original team name was “Jurassic Knights.” Keith  Age: 43 Occupation: Operations Manager Fave TV Show: 24 Fave Movies: Independence Day Fave Book: The Bourne Identity Hobbies: Singing, waltzing, football Keith is originally from Midland, Texas, but now resides in Corvallis, Oregon. Keith attended Oklahoma State University and now works as an operations manager in the contact center industry. Keith's background makes him well suited for “Treasure Hunters.” Keith has over 15 years experience in the contact center industry. This includes five years executive level, two years business process/improvement, one year of workforce management, and seven years project management combined with one year of technical training and curriculum development with two years system testing, development, and implementation. Keith insists that “Treasure Hunters” was made for him – he loves to solve puzzles and riddles and provide solutions to problems. Keith wants an adventure and says that his close-knit team has the discipline and cooperative nature necessary to win. Keith and his brothers – Kenneth, Terry, and Tony along with famed illustrators Kez Wilson and Kerry Gammil – have a comic book in development called Jurassic Knights, which will be released in June 2006. Keith's current treasure is his wife and children; however, a house on the beach, an Alaskan cruise with his wife, Chelle, and a fully loaded Hummer would be a nice add! An avid beachgoer, Keith says that he and his wife would like to take six months to devote to themselves and their health. Tonny  Age: 38 Occupation: EBS Specialist Fave TV Show: The Osbournes Fave Movies: Saw Fave Book: The Prince of Tides Hobbies: Football, dancing, swimming Tonny resides in Garland, Texas, and works at Bank of America as an EBS senior specialist. Tonny admits that others may discount the Brown Family because of their weight, but they plan on using their intelligence and analytical thinking as their secret weapon. Tonny says that “Treasure Hunters” will be a great learning experience and that each member of his team has distinct skills and diverse personalities to bring to the table. A football player in high school, Tonny says that people would be most surprised to learn that he loves to write and greatly enjoys any time he gets to spend by himself. Terrance  Age: 40 Occupation: Inventory Control Specialist Terrance was born in Midland, Texas, and shares the same competitive drive as his brothers, having played high school football and participating in basketball games twice a week. Terrance has worked for Office Depot for fourteen years and enjoys solving mysteries and treasure hunting in his real life, as well. Terrance echoes his brother’s sentiments in saying that their competition may disregard the Brown Family because of their weight, but Terrance knows that their wit and sharp intelligence is enough to win this challenge. Terrance, who is known as “Terry” by his family, and has a wife and two boys. |

New here, and I'm predicting an early exit for them. People of their stature usually don't have a chance on these types of shows.

Welcome, Dale! I agree that I don't think they'll be around too long, but you never know - I could definitely see them slipping by for a few rounds.

Ok... does anyone remember the Black family on TAR-Family? The only black team happened to be named "The Black Family"... why is it that the only black team here is called "The Brown Family"? I sense racial discrimination... and an early exit.

Well, luckily, that didn't happen tonight. They're still in, but not a moment too soon.
Thanks for the welcome, Bored!
