Peter Clayton

Peter Clayton brings over 20 years of experience introducing life-changing medical technologies in over 80 countries, driven by a passion for helping patients regain health and quality of life. He has lived in Geneva, Switzerland, and Quebec, Canada, and currently resides in Irvine, California with his wife and children.

Deeply engaged in his community, Peter serves on the board of directors for the UC Irvine Alumni Association and is a member of the Newport Mesa Irvine Interfaith Council. He has also been a parent volunteer in local schools and sports programs, a Unit Commissioner with the Boy Scouts of America, and an advisor to the Edwards Lifesciences Foundation.

Peter's love for genealogy began when he uncovered the story of his great-grandfather, who ran away from home in Prince Edward Island, Canada, at age 12. This discovery ignited a lifelong passion for family history research, which he now enjoys sharing with others.
