Hey there! My name is Joshua Burkhow and I’m the one behind Data Enthusiast  I am deeply interested in most everything about data and information and all its spokes of connected sub-topics like Analytics, Business Intelligence and Data Science. I am currently employed as a Sr. Operations Global Supply Chain Systems Analyst for Nike as part of a performance management/strategy operations group. Needless to say it’s incredibly exciting as I am constantly doing new things with data everyday.

I have a Master’s in Information Systems Management and have been in IT roles for the better part of 10+ years. I have found in the last few years though that I am actually best in roles where I live with one foot in the business environment working closely with executives and leaders trying to utilize data/information the best they can and the other foot in a technology environment that allows me to get deep in code, systems, design, and data analysis. I have found what seems to be my “niche” in the growing and exciting area of “Data Science” and the balancing act comes fairly easy and enjoyable to me.

With this deep interest in not only data as its pure self and all the ways it can be moved and changed but also the business viewpoint of data and information and the so called end-game to the usage of it, you’ll get to see a nice variety of posts and content sharing both sides of the coin.

I currently reside in Beaverton, Oregon with my wife of 9+ years Wanda, my 6-year-old boy Fabricio, my 4-year-old yellow lab Astro and twin 6 month old girls Mayanna and Amielle!
