He has worked in all sorts of industries that have anything to do with bending metal, kilns, or furnaces. After 13 years with OCC, he eventually left the shop for a more comfortable position at Pocono Mountain Harley-Davidson, tackling their custom fabrication contracts.
One of his best-selling products is his chef knives, which in all seriousness, are out of this world! Cody actually joined OCC while still in high school, no mean feat for a teenager. He was by far the youngest on the show, but boy did he learn quickly! After leaving the show, just like the other cast members, he decided to work contractually for Vinnie and Teutul Jr, which is what he was last spotted doing. Cody prefers to keep a very low profile, but he has been working on a family and a family home.
A decade after the show was canceled, premiering on August 20, , both Senior and Junior appeared on a 2-hour special on Discovery Go to put together a chopper for the famed American roofing and siding company, ABC Supply Company.
The pair had an 8-week deadline, so father and son set their differences aside to piece together their final chopper from the old OCC shop. However, their newly formed alliance got off to a bit of a rocky start.

Hopefully, with the return of Orange County Choppers to the airwaves in the form of the American Chopper revival, Teutul's finances will be considerably improved in the very near future.
However, for now, we can only hope for the best for all parties involved. In recent years, it has more or less become a rite of passage in Hollywood for entertainers of all kinds -- especially older ones who have made a considerable impact on the entertainment world -- to find themselves the subject of a hoax on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.
The website Snopes , which is dedicated to fact checking just about every claim that makes the rounds on the internet, covered the case as soon as the false story broke in April of The rumor spread far and wide on social media, with people even taking to the official Orange County Choppers page to express their sadness and sympathy.
The page published their own statement on the matter, noting that "there are a lot of rumors floating around that Paul Sr. These are all false and Paul Sr. Thanks to everybody for all your concern and messages. Teutul himself denied the rumor on Facebook , writing that he was "alive and well. Gotta wonder who has time to start these things. While the tensions were always flaring among the Teutul family as long as the cameras were rolling at Orange County Choppers, son Mikey was usually the go-to person for comic relief in the highly volatile workplace.
He came off as a slacker quite often, never doing what he was asked to do, or doing it wrong despite the task's simplicity. Due to his generally warm and fuzzy demeanor, Mikey often found himself in the unenviable position of trying -- and usually failing -- to broker peace between the Pauls Senior and Junior. Understandably, this would soon prove to make Mikey's job perhaps one of the most stressful in the entire business, given how frequently Junior and Senior would scream at one another.
So it was really only a matter of time before Mikey took time off from the series. As previously discussed, he had been on leave from the franchise earlier in its run as he sought treatment for addiction. However, when May rolled around, Mikey had finally chosen to end his involvement from the family business, quitting the series and Orange County Choppers altogether.
He did this so that he could, according to Discovery Channel, "seek some peace of mind and work on my relationship with my dad. As it turns out, quitting the motorcycle business may have been great for Mikey in the end, as he would go on to find his way into other very creative but incredibly different fields. During his time at Orange County Choppers, Mikey's talents were often underutilized, as he spent his time running errands, fielding phone calls, and dealing with the ongoing family drama that surrounded him on a daily basis.
However, deep down, he has always been a true artist, and his departure from the series finally allowed him to capitalize on that. Mikey has been an artist for quite some time, and he even ran his own gallery, which he closed in He has also gone on to become a filmmaker when he is not behind the easel, opting instead to express his creativity from behind the camera.
He has also shown himself to be quite the impressive chef, co-running a sauce-making company alongside a colleague best known as Chef Angry Mike. Their sauces were once available for ordering online for mail delivery; however, they are all now listed as out of stock. With American Chopper about to return to television after all these years, Mikey is once again returning to the family business -- but it's clear that he has a whole lot else going on this time around, too.
Mikey Teutul is pretty clearly portrayed as the warmest and fuzziest of all the Teutul family members in the series. Goofy and lovable, he is essentially a human teddy bear in much of his time on the series, even if he isn't portrayed as the most skilled of employees much of the time.
However, as tough and rough around the edges as Paul Teutul Senior may seem on the show, it turns out when it comes to his real life hobbies, he's got a real soft spot for some furry little creatures. In a feature with People Magazine , Teutul Senior confirmed that his home at the time housed "two dogs, Marty and Gus In addition to housing all of these adorable and completely different animals, Teutul also offered opportunities for kids to interact with them in his own little version of a petting zoo.
According to People 's report, "Teutul often opens up his farm to neighborhood children. We all do. Given all of the behind-the-scenes drama that went down during the run of the original series, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that the forthcoming revival series very nearly didn't make it to air due to ongoing tensions between the Teutul family and the new production company that was hired to handle the revival. While the Teutuls appear to be on better terms with each other now than they have been in quite some time, the same thing could not exactly be said regarding their relationship with the new producer.
According to Variety , original producer Craig Piligian was brought in to steer the series onward due to his past experience with the Teutuls:. But it was rough. How something becomes a meme is one of the great mysteries of the internet. Usually beginning as an isolated post on the likes of Twitter, Reddit, or Tumblr, there's really no telling what will take off or what won't. Timeliness is usually a key factor, but sometimes, a ten year-old scene from a formerly popular motorcycle shop series can become a meme that takes the internet by storm.
In March and April of , a scene from American Chopper in which Paul Senior and Paul Junior engage in a heated argument, culminating in Junior throwing a chair, became a meme paired with poorly sized text in order to showcase both sides of controversial arguments.
Given that American Chopper really aired in the pre-social media era, it really is a surprise that this meme took off as well as it did, with certain Twitter posts earning hundreds of thousands of retweets. Another byproduct of American Chopper 's original airdate? Paul Teutul Sr. In an April interview with VICE , Teutul expressed his confusion: "I'm not real savvy with much on a telephone, but it's kind of funny because somebody mentioned that twice, and it went over my head, and I never even came back to ask what it was, because I'm not so savvy with social media so I didn't even really kind of care what it was.
So no. Did I know what a meme was? Absolutely not. Now I do. Family businesses often leads to moments of dramatic conflict and in-fighting, but few family businesses are given the chance to show the inner workings of their offices on television for millions of viewers on a weekly basis.
Reality television often over-dramatizes things for the sake of entertainment -- there's no possible way that anyone could even try to deny that one after all these years. However, even the most dramatic of reality television rarely ever features a moment as intense and shocking as the moment when Paul Senior finally gave up on the fighting and fired Paul Junior from Orange County Choppers. Paulie's role in the series and the business operations as a whole was clearly quite an important one.
As the likely so-called heir to the OCC brand, his departure from the company made for a real need to restructure the series going forward. The Teutuls may have exaggerated some of their fighting for the sake of being on camera, as every reality show does, but given the severity and harshness of this fight, not to mention the violent outbursts that accompanied it, there's no way of interpreting this scene as entirely done for show.
As if the dramatic moment in which Senior finally fired Junior didn't already fundamentally alter the dynamics between father and son on the long-running television series, it turns out that the spur-of-the-moment decision in the midst of that heated fight had some long-lasting ramifications behind the scenes. For television shows, even ones allegedly unscripted in the way that reality television claims to be, it's never as simple as just firing someone from the series.
Intricate legal contracts drafted by the networks and the parties' representation prevent something like that from happening.
As the publication New York Business Divorce relates, the falling out between father and son led to some real changes in the series contracts that only furthered tensions between them:.
