A garden is a grand teacher. But usually homeschooling does not work well. I can be your mentor, tutor or coach. I am not here to plant and landscape your garden for you. My job is to help you in any way possible so that you can succeed with all things garden. Be it a small urban plot or a field of wildflowers. Just as you have a life coach or a fitness coach, I can offer you a single consult or long term planning. Your garden should be a place of joy and a chance to connect with your hands in the dirt. Let me teach you how!

Paul Hill ~ Paul Hill Percussion
Percussionist/Teacher/ Custom Drum, Mallet & Cymbal Jewelry Maker
Paul Hill is an active freelance percussionist in the Twin Cities. He regularly performs with the Minnesota Orchestra, Minnesota Opera, Chanhassen Dinner Theatre, Minnesota Percussion Trio, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, Children's Theatre Company, as well as many touring Broadway musicals and artists such as Weird Al, The Who and Dessa.
Paul has been an adjunct percussion instructor at UW-Superior, Bethel University, Gustavus Adolphus College and St. Olaf College. Paul also keeps a private teaching studio open to students of all ages and abilities studying all of the major percussion instruments.
I love what I do and it makes me so happy to be able to share my passion with others. Since starting as a professional Music teacher in 1995, I’ve been privileged to see so many students discover their natural skills and abilities and reach results they never dreamed were possible. If that sounds like something you’d like to explore, get in touch.
My background freelancing in all styles of music from orchestral to musicals has given me insight into building unique, beautiful and versatile custom drums and mallets.
My newest venture is turning broken cymbals into jewelry, such as necklaces, keychains and earrings.

Your Realtor Ryan Lee
Actor/Singer/Musician
Hello there! This real estate biz is quite the adventure, and I'm enjoying every bit of it! As an extroverted people person, finding ways to connect has always been my thing; whether I was bartending or serving tables, teaching kids their first guitar chords, singing my songs in a coffee house, joking around backstage (sometimes onstage, let's admit it) doing theater, or sitting around a fire in the backyard, I've always been my most happy, authentic self just being with and enjoying other people. And being a Realtor is definitely no exception. I get to use my outgoing, people focused personality to team up with my clients and help them navigate their rocky real estate road! My style of service is personalized, detailed and very focused on care and communication. So whether you're a freaked out first-time homebuyer or a long-time homeowner looking to sell, I've got you covered. And, perhaps as importantly, we will have so much fun along the way!
Singer/Actor/Musician Ryan Lee has been fortunate to perform with several fantastic theaters around the Twin Cities including DalekoArts, Lyric Arts, Theater Latte' Da, Uprising Theatre and others. As a songwriter, Ryan has released five albums of original music and is now using those talents to write original music for the stage.
