Just wanted some input on this game if anyone is interested. I think I got lucky early and he didn't see my knight coming. I also was having trouble getting the game closed out quickly. I could have nickel and dimed it to death. Just wondering if I missed something. Big win for me.
Thanks all.

A couple of things after a quick look:
18 ... Qxd3+ is probably better than Bh3+. He gets his king over to the queenside with Bh3+. You can probably mate him sooner if you keep his king on the kingside, but I don't see a forced mate.
Also 24 ... Nxc2 25 Kxc2 Qxe4+ followed by winning the knight might go faster, too.
I didn't see any really obvious way to finish things, though.

After 28. fe5 Ra3 wins material with 29. Ka3 Nc2: being the stem line 30. Kb2 Na1 31. Ka1 Qf3: 32. Kb1 and after Bf1, Bd3 mate follows in a few...If White is still playing.
