William has been involved in the business since 1995. Though he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degree in anthropology from the University of Texas, he felt compelled to work for the family business.

“I wanted to try out the plumbing business and here I am 15 years later,” Biggs said.

Bill Biggs started the company in 1972 and Neeva joined forces with him in 1981. The business has been at their current location on Dungan Lane since 1988.

William says he is glad he chose to join the family company.

“The academic life is less rewarding in some respects. I have more opportunity to deal with people and be creative strategically,” he said.

When not working, William enjoys spending time with his wife and two young children, ages three and one.  Biggs has been married for six years. He met his wife through mutual friends and found they have a similar love for music, reading and good food.

“We went to so many little food and wine events together,” he said.    

Though they don’t have much time for traveling, it is one of their pastimes as well.  They still travel back frequently to his wife’s home state of New York.

Work is like family as well. William says he tries to implement activities that bring them together, such as an indoor soccer team that plays in the winter.

Biggs specializes in commercial plumbing, including new construction, commercial remodel and more. –km
