Biography & Author's Journey
Mark Divine was born and raised in upstate New York, where an early exposure to discipline and education shaped his distinctive outlook. After earning a degree in economics from Colgate University and an MBA in Finance from New York University’s Stern School of Business, Divine seemed destined for a high-powered corporate path, working as a Certified Public Accountant with Coopers & Lybrand in New York City. However, as a young man, he developed a deep fascination with Eastern philosophy, which laid the groundwork for a radical turning point. Four years into his finance career, Divine chose to pursue a more demanding calling and entered Navy SEAL training at age 25. Graduating as Honor Man—top of his BUD/S class—he went on to serve a combined twenty years, including both active duty and reserve service, retiring at the rank of Commander.
