His private consulting practice has included numerous federal, state and county agencies, as well as private sector clients in the entertainment and hospitality, casino, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, call center, higher education and electronics fields.

Since 2003, Smith served as adjunct faculty for a private national university system, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in management, leadership, business, sociology and psychology.
