Zach Craddock
Interim Vice President
I graduated from Union High School in 2012 and, in search of finding meaning, the Lord led me to join the Army Reserves in 2013 where I still faithfully serve as a military police soldier. As a 2-time Operation Enduring Freedom veteran I am proud to give all that I can to support my family, our country, and our freedom. I plan to give that same level of passion and commitment to Pryor Main Street.
When I’m not working, I love to spend my time with my wife, Katie, and my son, Dutton. We moved to Pryor in November of 2025 and have fallen absolutely in love with this community. My desire to help uplift this community comes from knowing my son will grow up in this town and hopefully carry on a legacy of growth and passion for his community. I want my family to make a lasting impact and help to establish a trend of growth for the City of Pryor.
I plan to help our current small businesses mitigate risks while trying to implement strategies to enhance the economic outlook of our community. I hope to be able to showcase all our town has to offer for prospective new businesses in order to entice them to join us in bringing Pryor to a place of continued success and prosperity!
