As a high schooler, he was inspired by an article by Gary Smith in Sports Illustrated to pursue a career in sportswriting and considered studying journalism at the University of Montana.

After graduating from Dickinson State with a degree in education and student teaching in Frenchtown, Montana, he decided to enroll in the UM School of Journalism.[3]

He worked for The News Tribune from 2006 to 2013 where he covered the Seattle Mariners, University of Washington football, and the Tacoma Rainiers.[4] He was one of the four members of the Seattle sports podcast, Karate Emergency, from October 2010 to July 2011, along with Alex Akita and Ashley Ryan.[5] Divish also frequents as an on-air personality for KJR Sports Radio in Seattle.
