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 of "Junior", he is really not a junior, because his middle name is Michael, while his father, also Paul Teutul, has the middle name of John. Paulie is the chief designer and fabricator of OCC, and prior to that was head of the rail shop at Orange County Ironworks. He is also responsible for designing the logo for OCC.
Paulie, along with his father and youngest 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 the show was moved to TLC). He has another brother, Daniel who is the general manager and the owner of Orange County Ironworks. He also has a sister, Cristin, who is the youngest of all the Teutul children. She is currently a nurse in Rochester, New York.
While often criticized by his father, Paul Jr. is a skilled custom bike builder. He controls the design, colour, style, and assembly during builds. Paul Jr. is also quite talented at working steel, and has worked with steel from a very early age. Junior has created many themed bikes for OCC. Some of these bikes have been broadcast on the Discovery channel and some have been created behind closed doors.
