An “American Chopper’s” Electronic Home
"American Chopper" dad Paul Teutul Sr. cools off with custom music and entertainment systems.
You may know Paul Teutul Sr. as the gruff father and hard-driving boss on the TLC’s ”American Chopper” reality series, which chronicles the interior workings of Teutul’s family-run custom-motorcycle company, Orange County Choppers. But what happens to the hulking, confrontational biker when he comes home after a hard day in the shop? Let’s just say that a whole-house music system helps soothe his soul.

Teutul’s new post-and-beam-style home features other technologies, too, from satellite radio to security cameras to make him feel at ease. “I was building a new home and wanted a modern look and feel,” says Teutul, who is far more comfortable with motorcycles than he is with electronics.
“He came to me to do the security, and I asked about whole-house audio,” says installer Anthony McGregor of AJM Security in Washingtonville, NY. So a whole-house audio system was installed to deliver sounds to the family room, bedroom, bath and office of the main house, as well as the pool area and a cabana outside. “He’s not too much into the new technologies, but he likes to come home, sit down on the couch and turn on the tube. All the other stuff was a plus.”
