Motorcycle master Paul Teutul Jr. has been molding metal into shape since the age of 12, when he began his apprenticeship at his father’s steel business. He’s widely recognized as the chief designer and fabricator of some of the world’s most famous motorcycles, as featured in the hit television series “American Chopper” on the Discovery Channel.
Though he came to know Christ at an early age, Paul Jr struggled as a teenager on the wrong path ending up in rehab at 16. Having grown up with an alcoholic father, he found himself developing habits that he knew weren’t God’s best for him. As he began to focus on living a life of character and integrity, he found the Lord filling the gaps leaving old habits left behind.
Although Paul Jr. started his career as cofounder of Orange County Choppers, after branching off, he now shares his creativity and unique approach to design with the world through his work at Paul Jr. Designs. Founded in 2010, his new company pushes the limits on creativity beyond just motorcycles, where Paul continues to pursue his passion for building the impossible.

“Just wanted to follow up with you on the fantastic job you did for Manufacturing Day. The response from the students was off the charts. You really connected with them and inspired them to pursue their dreams. What a powerful and positive message. Young people need reinforcement, direction and faith—you gave them all three.”
