Peters patented his first ankle brace in 1985, revolutionizing the industry by adding a hinge to traditional stirrup braces for greater mobility. In 2000, he founded Ultra Athlete, LLC with business partner Randolph Smith to market the next evolution in ankle braces. Today, the Ultra Ankle is the world's best-selling anti-inversion, anti-rotation brace in the medical and sports markets.
