Jr Drag Bike

Paul "Paulie" Michael Teutul (born October 2, 1974) is one of the stars of the American reality television program American Chopper . He co-founded Orange County Choppers along with his father, Paul Teutul, Sr. in 1999. Although Paul sometimes goes by the nickname "junior", he is not a junior, as he does not share his middle name with his father. Paul's middle name is Michael, while his father's is John. Teutul was the chief designer and fabricator of OCC. Prior to this, Teutul was head of the rail shop at Orange County Ironworks. He was also responsible for designing the logo for OCC.

Teutul, along with his father and younger brother Michael Teutul, became celebrities when Orange County Choppers became the focus of a reality television series American Chopper on the The Discovery Channel in 2002 (in 2007 in United States the show was moved to TLC).

He has another brother, Daniel who is the owner/general manager of Orange County Ironworks LLC. He also has a sister, Cristin, who is the youngest of all the Teutul children. She is currently a nurse in Rochester, New York.

On the April 9, 2009 episode of 'American Chopper', following a disagreement with his father and partner, Teutul's employment was terminated. They attempted to resolve their disagreements, and he returned to work for OCC. The April 30, 2009 episode reveals that Teutul ultimately decided to voluntarily terminate his employment as a full time member of the staff.

In subsequent episodes, Teutul has returned to OCC as a consultant, helping with bike builds when his father is away from the shop, and on builds that need extra man power.

Teutul has opened his own design firm called Paul JR Designs.

Paul is a named defendant in a 2007 lawsuit alleging fraud, brought on behalf of Turner Construction (Paul Sr and Daniel his brother are also named) . This dates back to 2003 and a ruling in favour of Turner in 2005 concerning the original OC Iron Works company. It is alleged that assets were stripped from the OC Ironworks. Transferring the viable assets, contracts and personnel to a new company OC Ironworks LLC, before bankrupting the former. This involved transferring the ownership to Paul Jr and allegedly selling the assets with unfair compensation to the new company.
