A native of Rio Vista, California, Mahoney was a collegiate swimmer for West Virginia University and UC Berkeley.[1]
In 2009, Mahoney competed in the Duel in the Pool and came third in the 200 m breaststroke. He placed fifth in the 200 m breaststroke at that year's World University Games, having earlier broken the games record in the semi-finals.[2]
