Q: What exactly do you do there? Has your role changed at all since you started? What about since the show started filming?
A: I do all of the final assembly and service on all of the customer bikes. I occasionally help Paul Jr. and Vinnie with the assembly on the theme bikes.
My job title has pretty much been the same since I have been there, and the filming hasn't changed things much.
Q: About how many bikes do you work on a year?
A: Nick and I built about 150 bikes last year. Each one is assembled and test ridden by us. We also perform all of the service needed on the bikes.
Q: What's your favorite thing about working at OCC? Your least favorite?
A: My favorite thing about working at OCC is the test riding for sure. There is nothing better than getting to ride five or six times a week for about 40 miles a time.
I don't really have a least favorite thing; everyone who works at OCC is great, and we get along well.
Q: How often do you get to work on the theme bikes? Do you have a favorite so far?
A: I work on the theme bikes whenever time is a main concern. Paul Jr. will ask me to come and help out to get the bike done quicker.
My favorite bike is probably the Black Widow.
Q: Do you ride yourself? If so, what do you ride?
A: I ride almost every day — customer bikes.
I still like Japanese bikes; I had one stolen from me last summer. But I have two dirt bikes now, and one quad that I ride all of the time.
Q: Where are you from?
A: I was born and raised on the Jersey Shore, the Asbury Park area. I live in New York now, but I'm still missin' Jersey.
Q: Any plans for the future?
A: My plans for the future are to ride bikes, ride bikes and of course … ride bikes.
