About Erik Biatti

The mind behind The 2nd City Faction. Born and raised in Chicago for half his life, in what is now Wicker Park, and the other half in the suburb of Des Plaines. Since moving to the suburbs he always had a yearning to go back to “the city”. Often visiting friends, family and Chicago's’ attractions he pledged to himself he will one day move back and contribute to the city he loved as a child.

After graduating high school he attended a junior college to later transfer to Columbia College Chicago, with plans to major in entertainment and media management. While in junior college he started discovering different boutiques around Chicago. They carried exclusive sneakers and clothes that he loved but would only see on the internet. Always being one to look for whats new and cool he started searching for other boutiques.
On his search he never found a place that truly wowed him or catered to his style all in one place. After studying the market for a couple years and becoming frustrated that everything he wanted to do in school would take several years he decided to take matters into his own hands.

 
The idea of The 2nd City Faction was born.
