Hey I'm Paul Teutul Jr.-a.k.a. Junior or Paulie - I was born with sheet metal in my blood. From the age of 12 on, I spent my summers at my father's steel business learning all the skills of fabrication that I would later use building motorcycles. While in high school, I also took part in the Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) program, which allowed me to further hone my craft.
Soon after graduating I went to work for my father's Orange County Ironworks, becoming head of its railing shop. But as my father began to spend more time building motorcycles for pleasure, he approached me to assist. It was then that my dad recognized my design and fabrication talent, and with his blessing, I left the rail shop to help establish Orange County Choppers as a business in 1999.That year, we debuted our bikes in Daytona to massive interest, and we never looked back. With myself, as the chief designer and fabricator, and with my dad lending his considerable business acumen, OCC is unstoppable.
