Smith’s trajectory within the firm began in 2010 as a summer intern. Following his graduation from the University of Washington with a degree in Construction Management, he joined the staff full-time in 2012. His tenure has spanned key operational roles in both land development and construction, providing the background necessary to manage the firm's daily output across seven active Seattle-area communities.

For Conner Homes, a legacy builder with over 65 years in the local market, the creation of this new executive role signals a push to streamline the integration of its residential projects. As the company prepares to open additional communities later this year, Smith will lead the coordination of its townhome and single-family home divisions.
