A dream can come true. Do you not think that? Just take a look at the life narrative of news presenter David Muir, one of the most recognisable TV faces in America

Unbelievably, even as a little youngster, this individual was aspiring to be a journalist and millions of people were waiting for him to break the news.

When he was ten years old, Muir set up his workshop in the midst of the family living room using cardboard boxes.

The New York native found inspiration in the work of Peter Jennings.

“I didn’t care. I thought Peter Jennings was the James Bond of evening news,” Muir told People. Muir wanted to be a journalist so badly that he never missed the evening news and even dressed as a reporter for Halloween when the rest of his friends were characters from their favorite cartoons, superheroes, and cowboys.

“When I look back at it as an adult, when I was a kid and I wanted to see the world, that for me meant covering the severe thunderstorms in the next county or going to the New York State Fair with the local reporter and photographer who were willing to let me jump in the backseat of the car,” Muir told USA Today.

“Now, I am literally seeing the world. I’m grateful for that, and I could not have put words to it when I was a kid, but it’s all the same hunger that drives me today.”

Muir’s career in journalism started when he was just 12.

He specifically spent that summer writing emails to regional press organisations requesting invitations to tour the studio. Later, Muir got a letter from local journalist and anchor Ron Curtis inviting him to work as an intern at WTVH Channel 5 in the mail. The note stated: “Competition in television news is keen. There’s always room for the right person. It could be you,” and these are words that Muir will never forget.

According to what is known about this appealing 47-year-old journalist, his net worth is $20 million and he is still unmarried.

Despite having a well-known name that many Americans appreciate, Muir is a modest man who prioritises his family.
