Unlock the Vault, Get a First Look: Book Launch on Sept 16

At age five, an active and athletic boy built a private world beneath his bed - not to escape, but to dream of a future he couldn’t share. Those hopes grew stronger in silence, locked away in a metaphorical vault he carried into adulthood - untouched even as he became an elite college hockey player, coach, husband, father, and college athletics administrator. Complicated choices begged to be made, affecting everyone in his life, including himself. This powerful memoir reveals how carrying unspoken truths through life can shape every choice, cost, and triumph - and what it takes to finally honor them.
