Christina & Lance Collins

Current Total$0.00

Christina Collins grew up in central Pennsylvania, a proud Penn State alum with a spirit built for adventure. She raised her daughter, Brittany, while living across the East Coast and building a life full of color — flying as a flight attendant with Southwest Airlines, dancing for Disney World, marching with the Baltimore Ravens' 250-member band, where she did color guard and clowning professionally since she was sixteen. Her traveling and life adventures definitely made her the adventurous person she is today.

In 1999, Christina lost her mother at just 49 from PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease). She placed her ashes at Whitewater Falls, creating a lifelong connection to the Smokies. She is the first person on her mom's side to not have the disease. In 2007, she followed that pull and made the mountains her home with her amazing daughter.

Christina's personal life is rooted in love and adventure. Since settling in the Smokies, Christina has poured her energy into the community — working at Stampede, Lumberjack Feud, and Titanic; serving as a Pigeon Forge Chamber ambassador; collaborating with local Chambers; spending six years on the Smoky Mountain Wedding Association board; and now serving on the Salvation Army Council.

She has been married to her amazing husband, Lance Collins, nickname (ancient sloth), for eight and a half years, together for ten. Yes, they are 17 years apart, he's older. They have spent the last nine years as full-time RVers, living with their three cherished companions — dogs Elvis and Elvira, and their cat Gympsy — making memories in a simplified life. They are proud parents of their daughter, Brittany (31), who is also a full-time RVer and a GM of a campground in FL.

Christina's love for performing and uplifting others naturally led her into pageantry, where she has represented Tennessee at the local, state, and national levels. She holds multiple crowning titles and uses her role to advocate for two deeply meaningful platforms: Donate Life, Give Life and Tabs for Kidneys — both inspired by her heart for service and community impact.

Her entrepreneurial spirit shines through three businesses: a wedding and event company, a balloon company, and a food truck. Every venture reflects her passion for creating joy and "everlasting memories."

Christina's heart for service led her to Dancing with the Stars, supporting United Way and local nonprofits that uplift the Smokies. Her life motto is lived daily: serve people, love people, and make moments that matter.

Lance has been married to his beautiful wife, Christina, for 8-1/2 years and have been together for 10. They moved to the beautiful Smoky Mountains in 2017 and have lived full-time in an RV for the past 9 years. He has 2 biological children and 2 stepchildren; one being Christina's daughter, Brittany, who he loves as his own.

Lance is 70 years of age. He was born in Hollywood, California where his parents were in the original TV series, Star Trek and Gunsmoke. He graduated from college with a B.A. in Psychology and Religion. He began his Masters of Divinity degree but only partially completed it while being the Security Administrator for Saddleback Church with Pastor Rick Warren, and personal security for Bill McCartney of Promise Keepers. He also had the privilege of doing dignitary protection for the Governor of Riyadh Saudi Arabia for 16 years while he and his family were on vacation at their Bel Air estate.

Lance worked for Dollywood and Splash Country on their security team 6 years and was blessed to be on Dolly's detail many times. He is now in his fourth season at Mountain of Entertainment Theater where he makes Amish pretzels. Lance helps Christina with all of her businesses which keeps him quite busy and definitely not retired. Even though he does not move like he used to he is honored and looking forward to being part of the Dancing with the Stars team as they support United Way of Sevier County.

Guy was raised in East Tennessee, most of his youth in Knoxville and later graduating from Sevier County High School. His career in Entertainment started at Dollywood in the early 90's and he moved on to local theaters in the area before embarking on a world journey. That journey took him through Disney Entertainment in Orlando at all four parks, to Tokyo Disneyland, and then a sidestep into the world of Universal Studios in both Hollywood and Singapore. He has served as an Actor and Performer in shows, parades, and special events and followed up his performing tenure with Entertainment Management for Universal Studios as both a Show Director and Manager for Special Events.

In 2018, Guy heard the mountains calling him back home and since 2020 has been with the Grand Majestic Theater in Pigeon Forge serving as both a Performer in shows and as Director of Operations, handling all produced events within the company header for both the Pigeon Forge and Las Vegas markets. In early 2026, Grand Majestic announced its final season due to the sale of the property and that a new adventure is in focus for the company, of which Guy will be integral in its development and operations.

Guy has been very involved in his local community since his return by working with regional theater productions and mentoring students at Northview Academy for the last 5 years as resident choreographer for their yearly musical shows. He continues this work with Northview's upcoming production of Sound of Music in December 2026.

Guy is honored to have been asked by Team Collins to join them in their triumphant journey to the trophy and looks forward to the team wiping the floor with the competition.
