A Sacramento resident for over twenty years, Biggert has been long been known to locals as the buyer for Tower Books and later, Newsbeat. Outside of Sacramento Biggert is best known as the godfather of the 1990's zine movement for his work in getting 'zine aisles' into all Tower Magazine locations internationally.  

Biggert's photography habit remained largely unknown until 2002 when two visiting friends, Xavier Carcelle and Chloe Colpe, discovered a box of stunning photographs in Biggert's living room. The box contained photographs of nearly every hitchhiker that Biggert had ever picked up. Impressed by the more than 400 images of wayward travelers, Colpe and Carcelle took the photos back to France and helped arrange a Paris exhibit of the work. In 2007, Hitch-Hikers, a book of the photos, was published and multiple European shows and a documentary would follow, relaunching Biggert's international career as a serial photographer. 
  
Note the word relaunch as opposed to launch. Biggert's work had been recognized in the early 1970s with a solo show at the Newport Harbor Art Museum, showcasing a series of photographs he had taken at the Balboa Park sandal shop where he worked. Though the work was well received Biggert opted for freedom, choosing not to pursue a full time art career. Today, through the help of Carcelle and Colpe and Biggert's work is receiving the attention it has long been due.
