Meet the Team

Development Team

Say hello to Russ Lance!

After leading churches for 20 years, he changed careers to develop software. Shortly after going through a coding Bootcamp (Coding Dojo), he took a position as a Program Manager, overseeing over $5 million in projects, with a company that makes Artificial Intelligence for the government (tell me that isn't cool!).

Now he leads and co-codes for Polearm Studios while still working his day job. Wearing lots of hats at once, Russ has helped us stay on track and motivates us to finish well!

Development Team

Say hey to Benjamin or Ben Lance!

After graduating from coding Bootcamp with Russ, Ben focused a lot of his time on personal projects before teaming up with Russ to create Polearm.

He has developed systems and sequences that can be applied to not only current games but to future projects as well!

Ben's focus is on co-coding and game design. He is always thinking of new ways to better the company and helps keep everyone focused on the goal.

Art Team

Say what's up to Daniel or Dan Lance!

About to graduate high school and already working a job on the weekends allows Dan plenty of time to pour into his passion here at Polearm. 

Dan has always wanted to make art for a living and is ecstatic at the possibility of doing just that through his role as a 3D artist.

With the help of Sam, Dan is creating all of the visuals for us. While 3D modeling is a pretty new skill for him, he has blown our minds with what he has created!
