Charles Wyrick, age 48, is the current State Senator for District I in Oklahoma, making his home in Fairland, Oklahoma.  Senator Wyrick and his wife, Pamela, have been married for 29 years.  They have two sons – Michael and his wife, Wendy, who have a one-year-old daughter, Josilynn; and Randy and his wife, Crystal, who have been married three years.  Senator Wyrick graduated as co-valedictorian from Fairland High School. 

Senator Wyrick started his family dairy in 1980 and is currently raising dairy cows.  “I was able to grow the business because of the commitment and help from my family.”  In 1990, he started a heavy equipment contracting business specializing in soil conservation work.  That operation grew into commercial work, but has since scaled back to a seasonal operation.  “Because of concern for our environment and the need for conservation of natural resources, I served on the Board of Directors of the Ottawa County Conservation District from 1999 through 2004.”
