Kat Mahoney and PJ Cannon have never met in person, but they have several things in common that make their relationship perfect for business and social media. Both have experienced the military lifestyle, both are avid pc and xbox gamers, and both enjoy social networking and public relations. However, aside from their commonalities, the two are from totally different generations, one having experienced the Commedore 64 era and the other born with an Xbox controller in hand. Their commonalities and yet, their differences alike, are what brought Codebox Media to life.

“Codebox Media is what we like to call the game industries “red-headed stepchild”. It’s born for and about the video game industry, but bred more for those less recognized.” Mahoney says. “We think the big companies get more than enough recognition when our society has so much more talent to offer behind the hyped up Video Game Awards.”

The game portal and podcast focuses on the new and aspiring developers, disabled gamers, as well as the military and veteran gamers. The motivation for such a diverse group of gamers is the connection each has for both Cannon and Mahoney’s lifestyle. Cannon served in the United States Army and Mahoney is a United States Air Force brat-turned-spouse with over 30 years in the lifestyle.

“Military gamers hit home for both of us.” Mahoney says, “From my personal experience, I would not have survived several deployements with a one, two, and a three year old alone with no family and friends around, had it not been for the military gamers I met in video games.”

As for the disabled gamers community, Mahoney reaches out her heart and soul in hopes to provide a better lifestlye for her brother-in-law who is quadropeligic from a tragic moment at the mere age of sixteen.

“Stephen doesn’t get to see our family much since we are military, but my children are intent on playing video games with their Uncle and talking to him over Mumble or Ventrilo.” Mahoney explains. “Yet because of the nature of his disablity, he is limited to certain activites and funding is hard to acquire for technological advancements for the disabled. It would be a great day when Stephen can log into xbox with my children and obtain some quality time over the wires in games like Call of Duty.”

Codebox Media hopes to gain sponsorships and partners to help provide more focus on the games, technology, and the people that make the industry grow.
