Those using Windows 10 in the future can give credit to 1988 Seabreeze High School graduate Terry Myerson.

The former Ormond Beach resident is currently executive vice president of the Windows and Devices Group, responsible for the software platform, apps, games and devices that power the Windows system, including Microsoft Edge, Minecraft, Halo, Surface, HoloLens, Lumia and Xbox, according to the Microsoft website.

Previous to this position, he led the Operating Systems Group responsible for Windows 10, the next generation of operating system. Before that, he led the Windows Phone team, which won industry design awards.

Myerson attended Duke University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. After graduating, he founded Interse, one of the first software companies for the Internet, according to Microsoft.

At Seabreeze, he was in the National Honor Society and graduated first in his class, according to records. He was an Eagle Scout, a member of several clubs and participated in cross country and wrestling. Myerson could not be reached for comment.

Myerson is a member of the board of trustees for Seattle Foundation. He lives in Washington with his wife and three children.
