David takes his role very seriously
He’s unbelievably passionate about his work and has been since he was a young boy.
“I was a total nerd,” he told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos during an appearance Live! “In the backyard, everyone was playing. And I’d be out there too, but then I’d be like, ‘I gotta go inside, it’s time for the news!’ So I’d go in and watch the news.”
He started visiting a local TV station soon after and began interning there as a teen.

He began interning as a teen
“I started visiting the station at 13 years old, I started interning at 14,” he shared. “Obviously, my dad and my mom would take me, so I’m grateful to them.”
“And I’m grateful to everybody in that newsroom because, this is what we all have to remember, this was just a kid with a dream, and they let me show up. And there was a new news director, I got in when there was no boss. That was the only reason a kid at that age could get in.”
