John DiNicola was born in Buffalo, New York to Matthew DiNicola, a Buffalo card shark, and Matthew's wife Amy DiNicola (nee Graviano). John was born three minutes before his twin brother Philip. Little did they know at that time, the DiNicola Brothers would do almost everything together for the next thirty-eight years. When John was seventeen, his father got him and his brother in touch with some of his regulars, and they in turn got the DiNicola Brothers in touch with the Don of the Montagna Crime Family. Matthew was a criminal, Matthew's grandfather was a criminal, Matthew's great-grandfather was a criminal, so Matthew saw crime as a Family business. John was immediately accepted along with Philip and together they became Montagna Associates. When John was twenty-three, he and Philip were both inducted into the Falcone Crime Family in joint ceremonies. John continued to strong arm businesses for his money, while his brother went off to do his thing, trying to make money "Legitimately." John chose to make his money by strong-arming local business. While he was occasionally with Philip, Philip would say that he could make more "With my brains than with a gun." This was their life for six more years, when John was promoted to Caporegime. Philip remained a Soldier, and John continued to try to prove himself to the Montagna hierarchy. Seven years after his promotion to Caporegime, and proving himself in the eyes of the Montagna Don, John was named Montagna Consigliere and sent to Las Vegas to oversee their operations there. John is currently working without his brother, who was made a Caporegime of a crew in Buffalo. Although, it is said Philip may be flying out to Vegas with a few of his soldiers. That is never a good sign for who gets on the wrong end of the DiNicola Brothers. John is the more violent of the two brothers.
