I've been gone. I'm not done.
I’m Dina Parise. They call me the Spicy Meatball. Ice Capades skater turned Pro Mod champion, and Stella and I are building toward 2027 and beyond. In life, you get one ticket and I’m using mine until it expires.

First, the ice.
Pro figure skater with the Ice Capades. Sequins, spotlights, cameras, and a few thousand hours of falling down and getting back up in front of a full house. That part came in handy later.
Then, the quarter mile.
I traded skates for tires and sequins for a fire suit. Twenty-plus years of pro drag racing, multiple #1 qualifiers, event wins, and a 2015 IHRA Pro Mod championship in a Cadillac named Stella. She’s my office.
Now, the comeback.
A few years off the track, then a schedule that went away before we got to the line. So we’re building toward 2027 and beyond, out in the open, one pass at a time. Come along.
Back on the tree.

Same story, different stage.
Figure skater, drag racer, and a few chapters in between. I talk about reinvention, getting back up, and starting over in front of a crowd, because I’ve done all three more than once. Keynotes, panels, hosting, and interviews. If your room needs a jolt, I’ve got one.
I want to make my journey, your journey.
