Last Stand Graphics (LSG) was started by Chris Custer. As a clever play on words, and paying homage to the late General George Armstrong Custer, Chris decided that the phrase "Last Stand" and the primary focus of the business flowed and ran with it. With a strong artistic instinct and knack for computer programs, Chris began his first business endeavor creating graphics and merchandise with the small business, The Millennial Patriot. Wanting to expand, Chris formed the idea of Last Stand Graphics. The Millennial Patriot was a small business that provided goods to customers through Etsy and live vendor events around the Southern Maryland area. Though successful, expansion was always the main goal. Through the success of The Millennial Patriot, Chris and his wife, Kristen were able to purchase bigger, better and more productive equipment to push their business forward.

Along with Chris, who owns and operates the company on a day-to-day basis, his wife, Kristen Custer, also plays her fair share in ensuring the business operates. Kristen helps with design ideas, material creation, order fulfillment, and anything else needed when things get busy.

Chris and Kristen both still work full time jobs as government contractors. The ultimate goal for the couple is reaching out on their own and ultimately owning a storefront to house more merchandise, interact more closely with customers, and expand their ever-growing collection of equipment to bring more items to customers that need them.
