American Chopper: Where Is Paul Jr Now?
By KATIE RANNO
Paul Teutul Sr. fired Paul Jr. from Orange County Choppers in 2008, but the pair would be seen again in the 2010 spin-off show, “American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior.”
The spin-off still showcased the tug-of-war between Sr. and Jr., but it also put a spotlight on Jr.'s own shop, Paul Jr. Designs, which covers more than just motorcycles.
The company's original shop is located in the same area of New York State where Senior's Orange County Choppers was located before it moved to Florida.
In 2017, Paul Jr.’s book "The Build: Designing My Life of Choppers, Family & Faith" was published.
Jr. has also taken to the airwaves, launching “The Paul Jr. Podcast” in 2021. He wrote on Instagram, “This is something that I've wanted to do for a really long time now.”
As for being fired from his father's shop, Paul Jr. said he's grateful for that moment. In an article for Fox News in 2017, Jr. said, “My creativity took off. I matured as a man.”
He added, “For the first time, I could see what others had tried to tell me: my relationship with my father was unhealthy.”
