Government and Private Consulting
Infield’s founder and Owner Gil Smith began his career in public service when he joined the Navy in 1979 and achieved the rate of Chief Hospital Corpsman. In 1988 he earned a Commission as a Naval Officer and retired from the Navy in 1999 after being selected as a Lieutenant Commander. He received two Meritorious Service Medals in recognition of his service. After retirement, he joined American Management Systems, a Fortune Global 1000 firm as their Director of Treasury. In 2002 he returned to public service for six years as an appointee for the George W. Bush administration. He served three consecutive appointments as: Associate Director, Peace Corps; Deputy Chief Operating Officer White House; and Deputy Assistant Secretary, USDA. He has an MSB and an MBA from Husson University and lives on a farm in Asheboro, NC. It is this experience, education, and success that is the foundation of the Business Services area.
For our Government work Infield does business as IM&P a registered DBA in North Carolina. We are registered in SAM, and are fully qualified to compete for government business as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business.

Public Relations & Marketing:
PR is an integral part of any artist, athlete, or entertainers life. At Infield Media & Promotion we bring a unique package of skills in one location. It is how you, as a public figure and business opportunity interacts with the public, maintain ties to your base and community and how you get important information out to all of your interested parties. These are fans, sponsors, colleagues, the press in general, and influential people in your industry (racing, music, equestrian, benefactors, buyers).
There are several components to a good PR program. Infield can support your program with a full life cycle PR effort.

Photography
Infield’s roots are in photography. Gil started taking pictures with his Dad and his Grandfather back when he was a wee lad. Growing up around men with cameras it was only natural that he grabbed one as soon as he could. Learning to shoot with film, he is exacting in his work and careful about his shots. Gil’s career in photography accelerated when he was introduced to NASCAR’s Infield by WJFK Clear Channel Radio covering the Richmond NASCAR race. Soon thereafter he was covering the garage and pits for Garage Talk Radio and shortly later achieved recognition as a credentialed member of the press as a photojournalist covering sports and leisure activities for the US Press Association and the German Daily News. He is an emerging artist in the equestrian field and is rapidly gaining recognition as a reliable resource for equestrian sponsors nationwide.
Today, Infield Media still provides media and PR coverage for motorsports by providing exciting crisp images of competition and the human side of racing. Gil is known for his warm and personal images whether it is in equestrian work capturing the exhilaration of a clear ride, a poignant moment in entertainment, or a Dad and Daughter sharing a pre-race experience for the media.
With the launch of this new format, Infield is moving into personal photography as Gil Smith Photography. You can see some of our personal work in this portfolio.
Infield will continue to provide support in the commercial markets and in support of our PR and Marketing clients. You can see our commercial work in this portfolio.
