About Brett

I have been with Janney since 2003 and have subsequently earned designations as a Certified Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®) from the College for Financial Planning as well as a certification in Long-Term Care (CLTC) from the Center for Long-term Care. In addition, I have also earned certificates in Retirement Income Planning from the Wharton School of Business, Financial Planning from Boston University, and in Preferred Portfolio Management from Portfolio Concepts. Attending Marist College, I earned my degree in Business Administration/Finance with a minor in Economics. I am a Member of Mensa.

With a combined experience of 50 years, my father, Randy, and I partnered at Janney forming “The Biggs Group.” My focus is to establish a financial roadmap for clients and transition that into an action plan that moves individuals toward fulfilling their short, intermediate, and long-term needs and goals. Knowing that each client is different, I believe in taking an informational approach by analyzing the unique parameters of each case and then applying a strategic planning process to it. Once the plan is created, I then recommend an appropriate investment and insurance plan to help clients meet their goals, take on as little risk as possible, and review them as the plan progresses.

I have been involved in aiding the financing of municipal projects for the City of Bethlehem, including the completion of a $65 million financing for the City of Bethlehem water, a $42 million Dollar financing for The BASD Nitchman Project both in which Janney was the Underwriter.

Outside of work, I co-own a Restaurant Tavern at the Sun Inn and Micro Distillery Christmas City Spirits. I enjoy working with the Lehigh Valley Rugby Football Club as well as the Goodfellows of Bethlehem. Fitness, travel, cooking, and collecting wine are some of my favorite past times. I reside in Bethlehem, PA with my wife Sarah, daughter Reagan, and beagle Jake.
