We are Mark and Cheri Illum. We have four children, one girl and three boys and most of them are adults now. Mark was raised in Idaho and came to BYU. He is an environmental engineer at Texas Instruments. Cheri was born in Miami, Florida, and had lived all over, finally graduating high school in California. She came to BYU and we haven’t let Utah since. Cheri is a teacher of an adaptive needs seminary class.
Every member of our family is scuba certified. We love dirt biking/motorcycling, camping, soccer, and our black labrador Apollo. Most of us love sushi and we love anything with a beach!!
We love helping these youth grow and providing a loving place where they can feel like they belong and are valuable. We want to help others and have an instant love for the youth when we meet them!
We love being a part of the Stillwater Academy process!
