About Surrender Sound

 

I’m Jeff Hammond, and I design and integrate audio & streaming systems that just work — for worship, hybrid meeting spaces, and live environments.

 

With a background in engineering and a lifelong passion for music and technology, I help churches and organizations build reliable, volunteer-friendly systems that support clear communication and meaningful connection.

 

A Lifelong Passion for Sound & Innovation

 

Sound captured my imagination early — from recording cassette tapes on a boombox as a kid, to playing drums in school and church, to producing and DJing in Detroit’s electronic scene.

 

While studying engineering at Kettering University, I combined technology and creativity, diving deep into audio production and system design. I later worked as an automotive engineer while continuing to mix, record, and create music.

 

A Calling to Serve & Equip

 

During the COVID season, I sensed a clear calling to use my experience to help churches communicate effectively in-person and online. I saw pastors, volunteers, and tech teams doing their best with limited tools — and I knew I could help.

 

That mission expanded as businesses and community organizations sought reliable hybrid systems of their own. Today, I serve both ministry and marketplace environments with the same goal:

 

Clear sound. Reliable streaming. Technology that supports people — not the other way around.
