Marrton  Dormish

Marrton DormishMarrton founded Everyday Epics, formerly known as Sharing Their Story, in 2009. Through EverydayEpics.com, Marrton shares "the story of need" from around the world through fresh monthly content, including profiles, features, a month-in-review and commentary on current events. He also helps facilitate a variety of on-the-ground projects in and around his hometown of Broomfield, Colo., and puts together practical tool kits for people who want to begin to write themselves into the story of human suffering. He considers it an obligation as well as a privilege to attempt to tell that side of the story of need. 

He also considers it a privilege to tell stories of communities, families and individuals who are not content to let their neighbors suffer or leave solutions solely up to others. Instead, they pour their time, talents and treasure into efforts to understand and address their neighbors' more tangible needs, even as they routinely discover they themselves are transformed in the process.

Marrton and his wife, Angela, served for 10 years as campus ministers in New Mexico and Colorado, and in Barcelona, Spain, where Marrton wrote On the Way, a short book for seekers that interweaves fiction, history and the story of Jesus. In addition to her part-time job as a teacher, Angela is a passionate volunteer advocate for orphans and HIV education.

The Dormishes have four kids: Maegan, Ryan, Addison and Anthony. When he's not wrestling with his kids, reading or following sports, Marrton enjoys packing up his fly rod and exploring the small creeks along Colorado's Front Range.
