Bennett holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Master of Accounting degree from Utah State University and is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in Colorado. The company has stated that there are no familial ties between Bennett and any current executive officer or director, nor is he involved in any transactions with the company that would require disclosure under SEC regulations.

As of the filing of this report, no material plans, contracts, or arrangements have been entered into with Mr. Bennett in relation to his appointment as CFO, nor has he received any specific grants or awards in connection with his new role. This executive transition was documented in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reflecting the company’s updates in its leadership team.
