ASA Electrical Solutions Transitions to the Next Generation of Leadership

GOLDEN, CO – August 13, 2026 – ASA Electrical Solutions announced today that founder Dick Stone has retired after 45 years in the electrical industry, including 21 years leading ASA. Effective August 1, 2026, new leadership has taken the helm:

• Joe Stone – President, Rocky Mountain Division
• Brett Bennett – President, Southwest Division

A Career Built on Industry Leadership

Dick Stone began his career at Emerson Appleton, spending 15 years with the company and advancing from a trainee role in Houston to National VP of Sales in Chicago. He went on to lead Rexel Ryall’s sales operations in the Denver Metro Area for nine years before founding ASA in 2005 as an electrical manufacturers’ representative agency serving Colorado and Wyoming.

Joe Stone joined ASA in 2013. In 2017, ASA merged with Brett Bennett’s Critical Power Solutions (CPS), expanding the company’s footprint into Arizona, New Mexico, and Las Vegas.

Brett Bennett said: After meeting Richard and getting a feel for his character, I knew I was making the right move in merging with ASA 8 years ago.

A Growing Regional Footprint

Today, ASA represents product lines across a territory stretching from the Rocky Mountains to the West Coast, including Hawaii. Key lines represented include Hubbell Electrical Solutions brands — Raco, Acme, Wiegmann, Killark, and Hubbell Wiring Device – Kellems (New Mexico only) — along with Eaton Power Quality products, RYMCO Conduit, SP Products, American Lighting, EiKO Lighting, and Halco Lighting.

Celebrating a Legacy

On July 9th, ASA hosted a retirement dinner for Dick Stone in Golden, CO, drawing manufacturer, distribution, and construction executives from across the industry. Festivities continued the following day with a round of golf at Breckenridge Golf Club.

“Brett and I intend to carry on the legacy Dick built through years of hard work, strategic thinking, and strong relationships — including the sales team of top performers he hired and developed,” said Joe Stone.

Brett added: “We’re excited to take ASA to even greater heights with the incredible team we’ve built — big enough to compete at the highest level, nimble enough to still give every customer and manufacturer the attention they deserve. Joe and I are calling it now: the future of this company is absolutely electric.”
