CHRISTIAN WELTER
Fabricator/Mechanic

Christian Welter, an OCC employee since 2002, attended the American Motorcycle Institute, from which he graduated in 2000. He is a mechanic in the shop and does a majority of the wiring and assembly work on all choppers. He also plays the drums in the OCC band. Christian says his favorite bike build was the band bike, not only because he's in the band but he because he also had a hand in designing and building it. The most challenging project was the Siemens Electric Bike - because of the bike's extremely high voltage, he was shocked...often. In his spare time Christian enjoys racing motocross, snowboarding, listening to music, and playing with his German Shepard, Jersey.

JASON POHL
Senior Designer

Jason Pohl, a native of Mendota, IL and active outdoor enthusiast, joined Orange County Choppers as Senior Designer in early 2004. He started his career at Incredible Technologies, based in Arlington Heights, IL as an Artist/Animator of videogames, where he worked on a digital pinball prototype licensed by OCC and was responsible for the modeling and designing of all choppers featured in the game. Upon completion of the project, Paul Sr was so impressed with his work, he approached Jason to join the team.

Since joining OCC, Jason finds the most challenging part of his job to be taking 2-dimensional conceptual drawings and modeling and reshaping them into fully functional 3-dimensional parts. Jason's initial plan was to join the U.S. Marine Corps after finishing high school, however, he was awarded the August Holland Scholarship and decided to attend the Illinois Institute of Art, where he holds a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts.
