He grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota and moved to Newark, New Jersey so he could be near New York where fashion is king. Smith began to sketch items of clothing in elementary school and years later a serendipitous encounter on the train in New York where a man bumped into him spilling soda on his clothing led to a fulfillment of his fashion dreams. That man worked with the guys at FUBU. Smith worked for FUBU and other design houses for the next10 years.
