The Smith family started in the automotive business in 1917 in Yorktown, TX. W.C. Smith moved to the Houston area and partnered with the Russell family in 1965 to form Russell & Smith Ford Inc. originally located at 2201 Main Street in downtown Houston and established in 1937 by John Ivy and Lindsey G. Russell.
“I have been with Russell & Smith Honda since 1988. I hold Honda's #1 rating in Houston.
My passions include my church activities, quality family time, flying, staying fit, attending symphonies and having a personal relationship with thousands of clients.
As a student of the industry I've achieved Honda's highest award, the Gold Master, each year for over a decade.
I credit my achievements to a dealer who supports a customer centered philosophy. This approach has allowed me to offer a positive buying experience to my clients, and to have fun while doing so.”

“I've been a sales consultant at Russell & Smith family 7 years. My biggest joy is helping a customer find the right car. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and family. I also like to restore classic cars.”
