About Us

Richard Dean Associates was established in 1975 by two partners, Richard Bazirgan and Dean Goodwin, as a manufacturers representative firm based in New England. Dean left the business in 1984 and Dick Bazirgan remains the sole principal. RDA is arranged in two business groups: The Pro Audio / MI Division and the Consumer Electronics / Computer Products Division. Our philosophy in 2009 is the same as it was in 1975. "Communication" and a "sell through" approach have helped us build strong, long term relationships with both our dealers and our vendors. Dick Bazirgan has been perfecting his marketing skills in the audio industry for 30 years. His blend of personality, professionalism and experience is a rarity in our industry. His outstanding relationships with manufacturers and retail chain stores has been the key element to achieving results based upon long term sell through. Dick's commitment to assure the best customer service possible keeps the RDA team at the forefront of the industry. "Nothing says success like results!"
