A Rook sacrifice on move 15 in order to open my opponent up and force mate.

I think 17. Rh7 with 18. Rdh1 would have won. What you moved also was enough for a win. Nice sacrifice, even though it is a bit obvious.
Yeah, you're right. I missed it (that's why I prefer simpliest moves!).
17 Rh7 f6 18 Bg6 and black has a lot of problems (18 Rdh1 Kf7)
17 Rh7 Nf6 18 Rxg7+ and then mate
17 Rh7 f5 18 Rdh1 ...
