Welcome

My name is Marrton Dormish. I serve in Broomfield and the North Denver Metro area as a minister, advocate and writer. Among other things, I companion people on the margins of accepted society and history and attempt to amplify their voices and stories, I catalyze local housing stability efforts, and I help facilitate the budding Sister Cities partnership between Broomfield and the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, headquartered in Concho, Okla.

I'm a fourth-generation Coloradan, born and raised in Denver. I've lived in Missouri, New Mexico and Spain, and now, along with three of my four young-adult children, I live in a Broomfield, Colo., bilevel on the treaty-recognized homelands of the Hinono'eiteen (Arapaho), the Tsitsistas (Cheyenne) and the Nuu-ci (Ute) nations. Since we're not far from some beautiful, city-designated open space, we sometimes hear coyotes howling at night.
