Rev. Michael Voccio

I was born in Wurzburg, Germany when my Dad was stationed there in the Army. I spent most of my childhood & teenage years in Northern, VA.

After graduating high school I attended Georgia Tech (GT) and graduated with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree. It was my desire, since the 11^th grade, to get into the construction industry doing project management. The first job I had after graduating from GT was in the steel erection business in Northern VA and I then had the opportunity to transition into the steel fabrication industry in Baltimore, MD, Richmond, VA and Chattanooga, TN. During my 37 year career in the steel construction industry I have worked in many positions from estimating & sales, project management, general manager and president. At this point in my life I am very happy to be doing project management as I have had my opportunity to run companies and manage people. I’m happy to leave those responsibilities to others as I have had my chance.

My career then took me to Nashville, TN in 2010 and that is where I found the Science of Mind (SOM) teaching. I started my journey as a metaphysician at the Music City CSL (MCCSL) with Rev. Michael & Dyann Woody. It is there where I started learning to “change my thinking change my life” and started to study and use Spiritual Mind Treatment (SMT). I was only in Nashville for 2 ½ years but it was the most life changing time in my life.

Through SMT my next manifested career expanding opportunity took me to Kansas City. MO. There I attended CSL Kansas City (CSLKC) with Rev. Dr. Chris Michaels and Rev. Mike Irwin. It is at CSLKC that I had the opportunity to take classes and started to get the bug to become a practitioner. I was able to complete all the required classes to become a practitioner and completed my Prac I training during the 6 ½ years I was there. It was also in KC that I met my soul mate, wife, best friend, supporter, lover and encourager Cynthia!

I then had to make another career move. So using SMT, again, I manifested and demonstrated my current job here in Asheville, NC. With the love & support of Cynthia we moved to Asheville to start the next chapter in our life. We started attending CSL Asheville (CSLA) upon our arrival in Asheville and I was able to complete my Prac II training online, pass the practitioner exam and pass the practitioner oral panel so I am now a CSL Licensed Practitioner thanks to the love & support of my wife Cynthia, Rev. Dr. John & Barbara and the CSLA Practitioner team.

As Spirit leads my time in Asheville, NC & CSL Asheville was short lived. Only being there for just over a year my career took me to Atlanta, GA where I found Trinity CSL where I am an active Minister and a Trustee.

As for my personal side I have 3 wonderful grown children, two in Chattanooga, TN and one in Lawrence, KS, and 3 beautiful grandchildren.
