How it began

My name is Mathew and I am the owner/operator of Custom Cable Co. Custom Cable Co is operated out of Northwest Arkansas. I am a CST in Cardiothoracic Surgery during the day and small business owner by night. 

Custom Cable Co has been in business since March 2020. I started this online business because of my passion for keyboards and really, all things related to technology. I noticed how hard it was to find custom cables for mechanical keyboards that were consistently available to people. Typically when I came across a cable company, they would only do group buys and I never seemed to catch them in time. I wanted to change that. 

One day I decided I was going to try my hand at making some of these keyboard cables. My first weekend attempting, my fiancé (wife now) told me I should list some I had for sale on Etsy. I had never used Etsy before and she helped me somewhat throw the store together. That first weekend I had 15 orders. I was shocked. I couldn't believe that people wanted to buy my handmade items. This was only the beginning. Today Custom Cable co has surpassed over 7,000 sales on Etsy alone!

Fast forward over 3 years later and I am part time at my day-job to focus on Custom Cable Co. I am shocked everyday with the success and continuance of this business. I am extremely grateful to all that have helped me get started and to the customers who have stuck by me and continue to return for more custom cables. 

There has been a lot of expansion with this business in the last 3 years. I now offer many more products and services than in the beginning days. Cerakote is one of my biggest new offerings. I have been cerakoting custom projects and connectors since July 2021. The cerakote operation has grown tremendously and I am looking forward to continuing pushing forward with bigger projects and creativity.
