In a career spanning more than twenty years, he completed more than thirteen overseas deployments. As the officer in charge of training for the well-known SEAL Team Six, Rich was intimately involved in an extremely specialized SEAL selection process, which pared down a group of already exceptional candidates to a small cadre of the most elite optimal performers. It was during this work that he gained the insight and passion to write about these innate qualities that we all have inside - Attributes.

Diviney also spearheaded the creation of a directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines. He led his small team to create the first-ever “Mind Gym” that helped special operators train their brains to perform faster, longer, and better in all environments—especially high-stress ones.
