Patrick Outside the Office

Before starting his legal practice, Patrick Bageant was a municipal firefighter, Advanced EMT, and helicopter rappeller with the United States Forest Service, where he fought wildfires and participated in rescue missions across the western United States. 

Bageant received three Commendations for Merit for his leadership in emergencies, including rescuing four people trapped in an underwater van, delivering life-saving medical care to three victims of a backcountry plane crash, and leading the team first-on-scene to a quadruple-fatality helicopter crash.

Outside of the office, Bageant is an enthusiastic guitar player, woodworker, archery hunter, and student of politics and United States history. If he’s not in the office, you are likely to find him with his bird dogs Tig and Coach somewhere in Idaho’s portion of the West’s upper great basin.
