Meet Sam
Sam is an accomplished leader, builder, and integrator of advanced analytics and data science teams across financial services, health care, consumer packaged goods, and technology at both agencies and consultancies. Sam has introduced, implemented, and used Alteryx products for more than 7 years. He is passionate about using data to find the hidden stories and patterns that solve problems, reach goals, and test hypotheses and believes Alteryx is the linchpin to the democratization of analytics. Sam’s first-hand experience as a practitioner puts him in a unique position to effectively hire against customer requirements and lead the Professional Services team as the direct delivery business grows. Alteryx Professional Services is the backbone of the company’s offering to implement our products and services on behalf of our customers, to “do it for them”. Professional Services currently has two roles: the Professional Services Engineer (PSE) and the Resident Consultant (RC). The PSE is a short-term technical consultant that delivers fixed-fee projects, custom development or optimization engagements, and handles some instructor-led training. The RC is a one-year embedded engagement for highly custom projects revolving around technical, analytics democratization, and process and automation opportunities. They are cream of the crop consultants who are as comfortable with business CxOs as they are technical leadership.
Sam lives outside Kansas City in a Kansas suburb with his wife of 25 years, Jennifer, and they are incredibly proud of their two children, Spenser, 22, who graduated in May from the University of Iowa with a biochemistry degree and is in New Haven, CT for two years of brain cancer research at Yale’s Smilow Cancer Hospital while studying for the MCATs, and their daughter Katie, 19, a freshman at Kansas State University studying psychology and continuing her celebrated and award-winning choral experience.
The Johnson family wouldn’t be complete without their 15-year-old Schnoodle, Annie. In his spare time Sam loves to smoke and grill a variety of meats for friends and family on his gas grill, Traeger pellet smoker, or Big Green Egg.
This workshop series is for students and learners who are eager for more advanced Alteryx use cases, and ready to take their skill level beyond the industry-recognized CORE certification. Throughout these trainings, Alteryx ACEs (analytics experts and community advocates) will demonstrate advanced data preparation, blending, and analyzing techniques using real-life scenarios. If you’re a fan of technology, thinking creatively, and curious about expanding your data analytics and Designers skillsets to elevate your career options, these sessions are designed for you! Intro to APIs and Getting Data from the Web: The internet is a vast place and with some Alteryx assistance you can harness some of the public data on the web. Having the knowledge that APIs are very similar to queries can really expedite figuring them out and turn unleveraged data into a gold mine.

We'll provide you with real-world scenarios to put your skills to the test and gain practical data analytics and Alteryx experience. Whether you're a SparkED student hungry for analytics knowledge or a curious learner seeking hands-on Alteryx experience, this is the training series for you! Come with questions and curiosity and secure your spot today through the registration link above.
These workshops are structured to equip you with essential skills in data manipulation, transformation, cleansing, and more. With expert guidance and hands-on practice, you'll gain confidence in using Alteryx tools effectively and efficiently.
While these workshops are a great step towards Designer Core Certification preparation, they are not an exhaustive guide covering every aspect of the certification exam. The certification process requires a broader understanding of Alteryx Designer, and our workshops serve as a foundation for your preparation journey. Please access additional prep guides for the Alteryx Micro-credentials and Alteryx Designer Core Exams here.
Datasets & Materials will be emailed to registered participants prior to the training.
