Welcome

My name is Marrton Dormish. I'm a non-denominational Christian minister serving the Broomfield and North Denver Metro area through my non-profit advocacy project Everyday Epics. I companion people on the margins of accepted society and history (and attempt to amplify their voices and stories), I catalyze local housing stability and basic needs efforts, and I help facilitate the Broomfield Sister Cities partnership with 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.
