He has been awarded numerous design awards during his practice as a community-based architect. Mahoney was principal owner of EMA Architects, selected firm of the year in 2003 by McGraw Hill & Assoc. As principal of the 27-man firm, Mahoney was primarily responsible for a wide range of religious, educational, institutional, commercial, performing arts, sports and recreation and retail facilities. Upon his acceptance of partnership with Daniel Cook and Associates, the EMA team solidly enjoined with DCA. Mahoney and the former EMA staff are engaged at the national level on a variety of religious, educational, academic and institutional projects.

Most recently Mahoney has been responsible for the launching of “Architecture Utah” celebrating design within the regional area. He is also currently serving on the editorial board for the McGraw-Hill organization for construction and architectural reviews.

Throughout his career Mahoney has emphasized the need to maintain solid design approach in all budget environments by taking advantage of the free tools of architecture such as scale, proportion, texture, color and form. This has led to development of buildings completed well under the national scale for cost yet achieving design excellence. These designs require a collaborative approach that includes the client in the design process–a core foundation of Building God's Way.
