Smith, a builder and developer in Tarrant County, Texas, and surrounding areas held numerous leadership positions in state and local home builder associations and as President of the National Association of Home Builders during his long career. He was inducted into the National Association of Home Builders’ Housing Hall of Fame in 1987.

In keeping with his favorite motto, “always leave the woodpile higher than you found it,” this scholarship fund commemorates an outstanding Texas and housing icon, Herman J. Smith.
