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.

TERRANCE:

Age:

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.

I admire their inner strength and applaud their steadfast attitude, but I think their weight will be a problem. They are all out of shape, one brother in particular is really bad. Heart will only get you so far.

-HECK!

Their weight was already a factor... and if the heaviest doesn't have a heart attack on of these challenges, I will be shocked.

Haha, I thought he was going to sink like a stone once he got in the water.

-HECK!

That was really sad... I felt bad for him. But, you have got to KNOW that you're going to have to be physically able to compete in this game.

Which begs the question, how did they get on this show?

-HECK!

Maybe they didn't want everyone to be "fit"

True, who knows. They could do it, anything is possible.

-HECK!

Yeah... anything is possible. But, I think that you really need to be in shape, and have a sharp mind to win this one. Or, just have the be a religious family that claims they will do whatever it takes, and then, ask for forgiveness later.

These overweight fellows obviously struck up a conversation here... probably exactly why these guys are on the show

As a novelty? Possibly. Can't imagine them hoisting up that treasure.

The will probably get a pirate treasure though, from Long John Silver's.

Oh man, this team must be for sale, because they just got OWNED.

-HECK!
