Jenny McKee & Asa Collier

Jenny McKee, Basic Skill Instruction in Aerobics instructor and Principles of Nutrition and Health GTA, first met Asa Collier in a coffee shop she was working at. Collier was a friend of McKee’s sister and her sister’s boyfriend and came over the night before Halloween last year to help carve pumpkins. McKee says he kept eating candy — one Snickers followed by another. “I invited him to a dinner because I was concerned with his eating habits,” McKee says. McKee’s concern paid off because Collier and McKee have been together ever since.
