Mindy Shiben is a 34-year-old figure skating coach from Frederick, MD. Zach Justice is a 32-year-old fitness professional from St. Mary's, GA.
Mindy was born and raised in Frederick, MD. Her parents instilled in her a strong moral compass and taught her from a very young age that family is everything.
Even though her parents divorced when she was ten years old, Mindy believes in love more than ever.
Mindy has spent most of her life dating the wrong guys and feels she is at a point in her life where she wants her fairytale ending.
After the death of her younger sister, Mindy knows that life is too short and she doesn't want to waste any more time when it comes to finding the love of her life.
She is the perfect candidate for the Married at First Sight experiment because she knows her worth and what she has to offer a partner in a life-long relationship.
Raised in a tight-knit, middle class family in St. Mary's, GA, Zach's parents instilled traditional Southern values in him from a young age.
Family means everything to him, and even though his parents divorced and each subsequently remarried, their relationship has not affected his outlook on love as he's witnessed them learn and grow from their past.
Armed with the belief that anything is possible, Zach feels that the Married at First Sight opportunity is serendipitous.
He's had no trouble finding women to date, but is the first to admit that he needs the experts help to find the woman he is meant to spend the rest of his life with.
