Orion J. Colfer MD, FACEP
Vice President, EMP Medical Group
What is one thing most people don't know about you?
I refuse to eat asparagus under any conditions. I'm pretty sure it's not even food.
Who is your favorite recording artist or group?
Radiohead is the winner going away. Wilco, Beck, Sonic Youth. Both the Beatles and the Stones, but for Lennon and Richards not McCartney and Jagger. I'll throw G-N-R in there too for Slash.
What do you like most about working for EMP?
I get to work in an organization that shares my values. Servant's heart and owner's mind says it perfectly for me.
Describe your ideal vacation.
No schedule, no responsibilities, no requirements, no phone, no email, no worries. Doesn't really matter where. With family and friends and a large cooler of beer.
What person has been the biggest influence in your life and why?
It's got to be my father. I learned all my good (and a few of my bad) habits coming up with him.
