Michael Teutul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael "Mikey" Joseph Teutul (born November 26, 1978) is the youngest son of Paul Teutul Sr., and younger brother of Paul Teutul Jr., chief designer and fabricator at Orange County Choppers, the focus of the Discovery Channel reality television series American Chopper.

Siblings: Mikey has two older brothers Paul Michael Teutul Jr. (chief-designer at OCC) and Daniel Teutul (general manager of Orange County Ironworks) he also has a younger sister Kristin Teutul (attends nursing school in Rochester, NY)

Mikey became a celebrity when he began working for O.C.C. as a secretary and custodian (or as Mikey would gleefully say, "I answer the phone, and take out the trash."), acting as comic relief for the show. His presence also seems to have a calming effect on his father, who almost never shows the same sort of frustration he feels for Paul Jr. Mikey is often able to antagonize his father with little consequence.

He is now a major and popular part of the show and now appears at promotional events for O.C.C., as well as continuing working for the family business in his new job as a webmaster.

He is also known for his poor driving skills, as he demonstrates in the series on one occasion where he managed to drive his father's truck into a pond while showing off to his friend Earl, and another where he again fails the practical portion of his motorcycle license exam.
