Boseman received a bachelor’s of science degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting from San Jose State University.

Hurst has more than 11 years of public accounting experience, consulting on a wide variety of corporate tax planning and compliance issues, including FAS 109, transfer pricing, mergers and acquisitions, multistate tax, international tax, and research and development credit.
