Biaggi was appointed director in July 2004 by Gov. Kenny Guinn. His tenure in the position was continued under Gov. Jim Gibbons.

Previous to his appointment as director, he was the administrator of the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, appointed by Gov. Bob Miller in 1998. Prior to that he served in various staff and management positions within the agency.

“I look forward to this new chapter in my life and the opportunities and challenges it brings,” Biaggi said in a press release. “I want to thank the three governors I have served under in appointed positions, Governors Miller, Guinn and Gibbons. I appreciate them for their trust, confidence and support.”
