Marty Lagina Career

Marty Lagina was born on the 26 August, 1955 in Kingsford, Michigan. He is probably best known for starring in the History Channel reality TV series The Curse of Oak Island which premiered in 2014. 

He has also been an executive producer of the series and starred in the reality TV series The Curse of Oak Island: Drilling Down beginning in 2016. The show follows Marty and his brother Rick as they attempt to find a treasure that is supposedly buried on the island. 

Rick and Marty first became interested in the island after reading a copy of Reader’s Digest in 1965 that featured the history of a family by the name of Restall that was investigating the long lost supposed treasure. 

Lagina and Rick currently own a controlling interest in the Oak Island Tours company which is the majority owner of the island. However, there are many theories as to the original source of the treasure.

Though before becoming a TV star, he struck gold in the world of natural gas and wind power extraction. Lagina’s company Terra Energy was a pioneer in extracting natural gas from shale around the midwest in the 1990s.

Lagina later launched a new company called Heritage Sustainable to focus on wind power and is currently planning to build 60 wind turbines in Missaukee, Michigan that will make him the largest wind-energy producer in the entire state of Michigan and one of the largest overall producers in the midwest. 

He believes he can eventually power 25% of Michigan’s power by wind and wants to replicate that process around the country.

Lagina’s family ties go way back to a wine making family in Italy so he launched his own winery in 1999. Though they were not successful at first but by 2006 they were producing a flagship bottle called Row 7. 

Mari Vineyards currently owns over 60 acres in Michigan. Marty’s son Alex Lagina manages the winery.
