Ending Their Work Relationship
Hoping to make amends, the two agreed to quit being business partners. The lawsuit must have been the last straw. Paul Jr. left the show and started his own design firm to keep the family together. Surprisingly, this worked out well for the father and son. TLC agreed to leave the show’s main cast, but he had to be his dad’s independent consultant. Paul Jr. did this for a time.
His Business Really Took Off
Leaving Orange County Choppers to his dad seems to be a great decision after all. Paul Jr. and his business have seen plenty of success. In fact, the video game company Blizzard was one of his clients. In addition, he was commissioned to design a few bikes with a World of Warcraft theme. Paul Jr. has also been hired to work on a few big movies which require motorcycle expertise. So it looks like stepping out of his father’s shadow was the right thing to do for the Southern California native.
