Collier Landry is a renowned coach and speaker who transformed his pain into purpose. As a child, he experienced a traumatic event that forever changed his life. On a cold December night in 1989, eleven-year-old Collier lay in bed in his Mansfield, Ohio, home. His parents, Dr. John F. Boyle, Jr., and Noreen Boyle, were in the midst of a bitter divorce. Suddenly, the silence of the night was shattered by a scream and two heavy thuds. The next morning, Collier was told by his father that his mother had left on a vacation, a story that felt disturbingly hollow.

The truth was far more sinister. John Boyle had meticulously planned and executed the murder of his wife, Noreen. He moved her body to the basement of his new home in Erie, Pennsylvania, burying her under a concrete floor. The authorities eventually discovered the gruesome truth, and John was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Despite the immense trauma, Collier chose to turn his painful past into a source of strength. He became a coach and speaker, using his story to inspire and empower others. Collier’s journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, demonstrating that it is possible to thrive even after the darkest of times.
