Burke Creates Successful Work-Life Balance Through Dedication to Discipline

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 26, 2015 / VisionQuest Wealth Management: As the World Long Drive Champion in 2013, Tim Burke still holds the record for the longest golf drive in championship history of 427 yards. Appearing on the Golf Channel last week, Burke announced his plans for taking back his Championship Title at the 40th World Long Drive Championship, scheduled for October 20 and 21, 2015.

“I compete in 6+ competitions per year, with the biggest being the World Long Drive Championship,” Burke said. “Juggling my training with my career takes tremendous discipline and dedication to managing every minute of my time.”

According to Burke, his career as managing director leading the Orlando client service team for Raleigh, NC-based VisionQuest Wealth Management is where he strives to excel everyday. Burke credits his competitive nature and unwavering dedication to a disciplined lifestyle for creating success and balance in both his work and sports.

“Most of the qualities that I utilize in my day-to-day career are ones I’ve developed through playing sports,” Burke admits. “Playing sports has taught me to be very outgoing and a bit fearless – two qualities that are paramount to serving the needs of my clients at VisionQuest.” Burke graduated from the University of Miami, where he also played Division One Baseball.

Generating swing speeds of 150 mph and ball speeds of 220 mph, Long Drive athletes prepare year-round for the competition with specialized training to generate top ball and swing speeds focusing on maximizing distance.

Since 1975, the World Long Drive Championship has been held each year to crown the longest golfer on earth. The 2015 Championship will take place at the Winstar World Casino and Resort in Thackville, OK, with the men’s open championship division competing for the coveted World Long Drive Championship belt and a $250,000 purse.
