Imagine our shock when watching the newest episode of Ted Lasso… that’s PGAV’s Dave Cooperstein!

Most people bring home souvenirs from their trips. After appearing as an extra in Season 4, Episode 1 of Ted Lasso, Dave brought home a story.

At its heart, Ted Lasso is about so much more than soccer. It's about optimism, trust, curiosity, and bringing out the best in the people around you. Those same values inspire how we approach our work at PGAV, collaborating with one another to create destinations that connect people and leave a lasting impression.

Congratulations to Dave on his cameo in a show with a pretty unforgettable message. Believe!
