Over the course of his career, Pat has worn and continues to wear a variety of hats but his favorite role, he says, is sharing what he's learned about rescue and safety with an audience through a variety of platforms, from the written word to presentations at industry conferences. "If I can communicate my experiences to those who listen, I feel I am able to keep them safe," Furr says.
