He was born in Newcastle to master mariner Duncan Smith and Ada Genge. He attended the University of Sydney, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in 1912 and a Master of Arts in 1920. On 26 September 1914 he married Marcella Gertrude Smyth, with whom he had four children. He became a schoolteacher, teaching at Cleveland Street (1912–15), North Sydney High School (1915–21), Goulburn (1921–27) and Sydney Boys' High School (1927–30) before becoming headmaster of Nowra Intermediate High School from 1930 to 1936. From 1925 to 1934 he was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council, first as a Labor member.
