Smith was raised on a livestock farm in Marion, Ohio and has been involved with the outdoors since he was a young boy.
“Our American heritage is intertwined with a love of the outdoors,” he said. “It is a heritage of people who lived off the land . . . hunters, anglers, trappers, farmers, ranchers, lumberjacks and many others. All of these individuals respect the land and believe in the conservation of its natural resources while harvesting its bounty. I feel very fortunate to work for an organization that protects and promotes these honored traditions.”
