As a runner, Smith competed for the Wachusett Regional High School Mountaineers where his team placed 2nd at the 1997 Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association cross country championships. Smith also placed 8th at the 1998 New Balance Outdoor Nationals two-mile run.[2]

After initially competing for James Madison University, Smith completed his collegiate running career at Georgetown University.[3] After college, he worked as an elementary school teacher for two years and earned a master's degree. He did not compete during this time period.[2] In 2006, he moved to Flagstaff, Arizona, where he worked under Dr. Jack Daniels at the NAU Center for High Altitude Training and founded Team Run Flagstaff.[4] During this time period, Smith competed in trail and road races and qualified for and competed in the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials in the marathon.[2]

Smith returned to Georgetown as a coach in 2012. He rose through the ranks to eventually become the Director of Cross Country and Track and Field during the 2015–2016 academic year.[5]
