Biography
Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Cyrak received his primary education in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, and worked for several years as a truck driver and factory worker before entering college at age 29. He completed his bachelor's in business administration at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater in 1969 and immediately entered the University of Wisconsin Law School and earned his J.D. in 1972.[1] That same year, he was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly, running on the Republican ticket.[1] He lost his race for re-election in 1974.[2]
After losing re-election, Cyrak focused on his law practice and subsequently moved to Dallas, Texas. In 1996 his law license was suspended for sixty days for professional misconduct.[3]
