As a regulatory attorney in this division, he represented the interests of residential, commercial and industrial utility consumers at adjudicatory proceedings before the Massachusetts Departments of Public Utilities and Telecommunications and Cable. His duties included opposing rate increases proposed by utility companies, investigating service quality issues, interfacing with low income advocates and monitoring energy conservation efforts. Prior to the Attorney General’s office, he worked as General Counsel and Legislative Director for State Senator Michael W. Morrissey from 1995 to 2007. In addition to acting as a liaison for both the state and municipal offices, during this time he was also responsible for overseeing and addressing a wide-range of policy issues concerning the electric and gas industries, telecommunications, alcohol and professional licensing, identity theft, gaming, consumer law, media relations, constituent services, and the state budget. Tackey also has practical experience in the private sector. He worked as an information systems administrator at Onsett International for four years, founded his own part-time, private law practice and has appeared as an actor in local television commercials.
In 2003, Tackey received his Juris Doctorate from New England School of Law and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar. He graduated from Brandeis University in 1995 with a Bachelor of Arts in Politics and from Boston College High School in 1991.

He is a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association, Boston Bar Association, Asian American Lawyers Association of Massachusetts and Norfolk County Bar Association. He is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild.
Tackey is proud of his extensive record of volunteer service in the local community, which includes work for numerous collaboratives, commissions and non-profit organizations over the past 13 years. Currently, he continues his work with Quincy Asian Resources, Inc., a multi-service organization that he helped found and which he served as a board president (2001-2004) and board treasurer (2006-2007). In addition, he serves as a board member of both Work, Inc., a company dedicated to the empowerment of people with disabilities, and Quincy Community Action Programs (QCAP), the South Shore’s anti-poverty agency.

In 2007, he was reappointed by the Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley to represent her on the Commission. During his term on the Commission, he has actively served as the Vice-Chairperson (2007-2008) and Chairperson (2008-2009). At the same time, he also has been serving on the Ward 5 Neighborhood Association Executive Committee, the neighborhood association dedicated to improving the quality of life for the residents in Ward 5, since 2008. He was a member of the Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals in 2009.
