Julie thinks the best part of her job is spending time with people who are older and wiser than her: “We have so many accomplished people living at Stillwaters, and I get to learn from their life experiences.”

Ilya Dishkant

Operations Manager

Ilya has been the man behind what residents describe as the “resort-like” look at Stillwaters since 1992.

He learned gardening from his father who grew flowers and tomatoes as a business while Ilya was growing up in his native Russia. Ilya later attended college in Muldova in Southern Russia, getting a degree in engineering. As a result of his background and training in both of these areas, he has been able to provide solid leadership to our grounds and maintenance crews.

Ilya immigrated to the United States in 1990 and soon landed in the twin-cities area of Centralia-Chehalis, Washington through the influence of his sponsor, who lived in Chehalis. He enjoys the interaction he has with our residents, and takes great pride in the appearance of our yards and landscape.

He is married and the father of three children. His wife, Lubov, also works at Stillwaters Estates.
