Meet Coach Mahoney

Athletic Director

My name is Mo Mahoney, and I’m honored to serve as the Athletic Director at Faith Christian Academy. I have three great loves in my life: Jesus, family, and competition.

The love of competition has been with me for as long as I can remember. I’ve been blessed to live in some incredible places and experience amazing things, but one of the best decisions I ever made was attending Trinity Bible College, where I pursued football, basketball, and track. While I did get to compete, God had even bigger plans for me. On November 1, 2006, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. That same season of life, I met my best friend and wife, Lacey, and discovered my calling as a physical education teacher.

Nearly 20 years later, I’m still striving to walk with Him daily. My wife and I have been in education since college and have had the privilege of teaching in four different states. We’re also proud parents of three amazing kids: Bryant (whom we adopted), Kalani, and Kállan.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to coach nearly every sport—everything except water polo! After receiving my second Teacher of the Year award, I felt called to impact even more lives by equipping physical education teachers to help students discover lifelong fitness. That passion led me to earn a master’s degree in Kinesiology from Louisiana State University, and eventually a doctorate in Health and Human Performance.

As Athletic Director, my mission is to help our coaches see each game as a mission field—a chance to reflect God’s love through sport. I’m excited to serve the Faith community and invite you to join us in this journey as fellow missionaries.
