Vice President, Engine/TRM NRE Power Systems
Bryan Chaisson has been a prominent figure in the diesel engine industry since 1972. Leveraging decades of leadership and expertise, he transformed a small business into a significant player within the Gulf Coast region. Bryan founded Chaisson’s Engine in 1972 and, in 1992, merged with NRE, where he established the Marine Division. His extensive technical knowledge spans a wide range of diesel engines, including CAT®, Alco®, EMD®, Cummins®, and Detroit®.
A proud United States Marine veteran, Bryan served two tours in Vietnam, earning distinguished honors such as two Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star, the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, and several service medals.
Outside of work, Bryan enjoys time with his family. He and his wife Sarah have four children—Bryan Jr, Sabrina, Shawn, and Kirby—and love spending time with their eight grandchildren, especially when they go duck hunting and fishing.
