The Team

Dale Elrod

Dale Elrod

Managing Director

Dale, a proud retired U.S. Army veteran, runs OWL Studio day to day and sets the studio's direction, from the business side to the design of Blood Harvest.

He's also a cancer survivor, and he found it by accident. Literally. A serious motorcycle accident put him in the hospital, and the full-body scan they ran turned up a spot on his pancreas. That spot was the cancer. He went toe to toe with it and won, and it's now in full remission. The fight took most of the use of his legs and left him in a wheelchair, but it never touched his drive. These days he builds worlds from that chair, and he's just getting started.

Pamela Elrod

Pamela Elrod

Ultimate Boss & CFO

Pamela keeps the studio's finances, budgets and contracts in order and, as the title says, has the final word. She's a proud U.S. Army veteran.

She is also Dale's wife of 47 years and his true soul mate, in this life and in any lives that may follow. That bond reaches all the way into Blood Harvest, where each of them has a custom avatar of their own.

George Julien

George Julien

Chief Technical Officer

George, a proud retired U.S. Air Force veteran, is the studio's go-to for hard technical problems. When something won't build, won't run or won't behave, it ends up on his desk.
