Mr. Smoot has established a distinguished career in logistics and operations management, currently serving as the area director for ProTrans, a 3PL U.S.-based transportation and supply chain management provider, in Romulus, Michigan. Since 2022, he has been responsible for reviewing key performance indicators and index indicators, analyzing data to assess individual performance, and consulting with managers to ensure optimal staffing.

Celebrating over a decade with ProTrans, Mr. Smoot served as a terminal manager for the company in Romulus from 2018 to 2022. His journey with ProTrans began in 2015 as an operations team lead in Milwaukee before advancing to operations manager at the company headquarters in Indianapolis from 2016 to 2018. He ran the third largest terminal out of 29 terminals. These roles allowed Mr. Smoot to develop a comprehensive understanding of operational planning and leadership.

Before transitioning to the logistics industry, Mr. Smoot served in the U.S. Army, gaining valuable military experience that significantly contributed to his professional success. From 2007 to 2015, he was stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany, as an 88M logistician.
