They were coached by Galina Churilova in Kharkiv.[5] Their partnership ended in 2000.

Voyko teamed up with Julia Golovina later in the same year.[4] Their highest placement at an ISU Championship was 15th at the 2003 and 2004 European Figure Skating Championships.[6] They skated together until 2006.

Voyko briefly competed with Natalie Bos.[7] He works as a skating coach in Connecticut.[1] He is married with three kids.
