Tactics was Born in Newark(Brick City) NJ and Raised in Plainfield NJ,Tactics journey into the Hip Hop Culture Started in the Mid 80's when he was pre-teen when Rapping,DJing,Beak dancing,Graffiti was all the new craze. He(Tic-Tac as he was then known) originally was Pop Locking but got into DJing when him and a friend wanted to share their expertise with each other."He wanted to learn how to Pop Lock and I wanted to learn how to DJ so I taught him to Pop lock and he taught to me how to DJ. Tactics became interested in DJ upon hearing on-air legends Red Alert,Chuck Chillout,Marley Marl and Local 1986 DMC champion DJ Cheese. During the early 90's Tactics began producing and spinning House records though never abandoning his love for Hip Hop. After Spinning @ a popular local club in N. Jersey he first got his shot on the air on a low powered station WCNJ in Hazlet with the "Urban Assault"where he was Producer,On-Air Personality and Mixer. after a Year the station was sold and Tactics was left to contemplate his next move. He got with friend the legendary Chuck Chillout and put together a mock air check and sent it to stations in NY,Boston and Phila. It was heard at then Philly103.9 and thinking it was real, they call Tactics in for a interview. Appreciating his clever presentation he was brought on to 103.9 as a Board Operator. Tactics got his chance to mix on Sat nights before Jayski's " The Fundamentals" and he and Jayski forged a close friendship. So when Colby Colb was rescheduling the line up, Tactics jumped at the chance to work with Jayski On Pure Elementz.
While Mixing on the air with 100.3 The Beat Tactics formed a Union with DJ Bent Roc(Music Director for 100.3 The Beat and On-air Personality) and Joined the Prestigious Roc Squad.
