Paul Teutul Jr., eldest of four children, was born with a curiosity of how things work. Even at an early age his parents noticed his love for putting things together and taking them apart.
As a teenager he started working part-time at his father's steel business. He started at the bottom sweeping and painting, and quickly moved up to welding and grinding. Eventually he was put in charge of the railing department.
Although Paul knew he was mechanically inclined, it wasn't until he was 25 that he realized the depth of his creativity. In 1999, he created the world-famous logo for Orange County Choppers, a custom motorcycle business he co-founded in upstate New York. With his God given talent and eye for design, he went on to create some of the most recognizable theme choppers in the world, including the Black Widow Bike, the Fire bike and the Jet Bike, as well as working with some of the top companies in the world such as Intel, NASA and Gillette.
After ten years in the steel business and ten years building custom motorcycles, he is taking all he has learned and applying it to his new Company, Paul Jr. Designs. His vision for this new company is to be involved with every step of the design process. From creating new products to innovating existing product lines for companies. Paul intends to take his experience in creative design and give the customer a better product for a more affordable price.
Shortly after opening its' doors, Paul Jr. Designs caught the attention of it's first major client, The Coleman Company. Paul Jr. Designs was hired to redesign the 10-year anniversary model of their popular Roadtrip Grill. After finishing the grill with its impressive design, he was then asked to take a look at their other lines of products and is currently working on making them more innovative.
"I have always lived the idea of building theme bikes. Paul jr. Designs gives me an opportunity to take my creativity to a whole new level. This new Company will be the most challenging, but by far the most rewarding. Who knows what the future will hold. Maybe one day I can combine the two and balance both product design and motorcycle design."
