Our Founder, Chris Hammond

I'm Chris Hammond, former US Marine Corps Sergeant turned author, former pro photographer, drone pilot, guitar player, and voice-over artist. I love to play.

Over 13 years ago, my wife and I were both handed divorces we didn't ask for.  I’m deeply acquainted with the pain of abandonment, false accusations, grief and shame. I believe that people don't want to be “fixed," but loved, and deep down at their very core is a hunger for the love of an infinite God, who is love, and desires union and oneness to fill you up with himself, in the person of Jesus.

We have a blended family of 10 kids, and drive two Hondas to get around.  We enjoy primitive camping, hiking woodland and mountain trails, bike riding, river canoeing, white-water rafting, and exploring the beauty of Jesus through the Great Smoky Mountains.

Through my book and our organization, Operation: Victory Blends, we share the message that even amidst the brokenness and challenges of life, there is hope, healing, and profound love in Jesus Christ. Our journey and insights are designed to help you see beyond the pain and into the victory that comes from true union with Jesus.
