John D.Tucker AKA "Dr.Teeth"

I am privileged to write in support of my dear friend and colleague, Matt Smith. I worked with Matt at BET NY, during which time I witnessed his tremendous drive and ability to make others around him better. This development came not only in the area of business achievement and Executive leadership, but in maturity and character as well. I recommend Matt Smith with absolute confidence. He has made me proud, as his colleague and friend, and I am sure he will continue to do so as his light shines brighter and brighter. Thank you for the opportunity of correspondence, John "Dr.Teeth" Tucker Film Maker/Visual Artist
