Brien Wassman



In Memoriam





Brien and Tina met as Travel Directors many years ago on a Cadillac Dealer Incentive program in the Detroit area. Brien was a degreed civil engineer and had an accomplished career in construction management, as a licensed builder. He operated as a commercial and residential building inspector for many ongoing projects contributing to the rebirth in downtown Detroit.


Back in April of 2016, when TBA Global closed their doors and Tina was reflecting on her next steps, Brien fully encouraged the opening of TNC Events with his “back of house” support, offering to handle the accounting, invoicing and payroll needs. With his support, along with the support of our dedicated team and our loyal client relationships, TNC Events was born.


​Brien will forever be a part of the fabric, the foundation of TNC Events. He was the ultimate host. We honor him with each event that we plan and produce.
