Mr. Tracy Mayhew

Communication is vital when conducting specific research on subject matter experts. In this case, I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Tracy Mayhew (USAF SGT Retired). Listening and transposing our conversation accurately, directly correlates with effective communication.

Gun Control Through the Eyes of a Professional

 
           Gun control is a very controversial topic where numerous resources can be found to advocate for both perspectives. One of the best things about such a controversial topic is just that. Gathering information is not only easy because of the abundance but since opposing viewpoints are so large it makes it easier to write about the topic completely. However the problem with so many resources is many time information gathered is not accurate and highly opinionated.  This focal piece on Tracy Mayhew highlights some very specifics thoughts, ideas, and facts from a certified creditable source.

Mr. Louis Cruz

            The individual that I chose to interview is someone that not only do I respect as a person and for what they have accomplished in their life but also for his daily actions. Louis Cruz is and has been my civilian boss for two years now. Not only is he a great boss but he also has been in my shoes. He is a retired First Sergeant form the United States Army and has a wealth of experience not only in our current field of work but also in the challenges I will face throughout my career. On the first day when I arrived and reported into to meet him he told me that although he was the team lead or boss that he considered himself more of a team member. To this day I still have found this to be true. We have become what I consider very good work acquaintances with an open flow of two way communication that results in quality products. His diversity across multiple plains will give great insight into communication differences across subcultures, age in workforce gap, nationality differences, language barriers of communication, and so much more! Simply speaking, Puerto Ricans encounter the issues when it comes to communication within their subculture as we all do in our particular subcultures. The barriers or challenges may differ and their customs, habits, and practices may differ but in the end the main goal of their communication intent is to send and receive effectively just as Americans do. Mr. Cruz explains how what that communication flow is like and how it has changed over the years.
