rdf:langString Martin Lagina (born August 26, 1955) is an engineer, vintner, and a star and producer of The Curse of Oak Island. Marty Lagina was born in Kingsford, Michigan, and attended Michigan Technological University. After graduating, he became a petroleum engineer for Amoco. While pursuing his Doctor of Law at the University of Michigan, he did engineering consulting for petroleum companies. In 1982, he founded Terra Energy Ltd. He sold Terra to CMS Energy for $58 million in 1995 and founded Heritage Sustainable Energy. When he was eleven years old, Marty learned the story of buried treasure on Oak Island in a 1965 copy of Reader's Digest which he had borrowed from the school library. His and his brother's interest in the island endured into adulthood, and they eventually visited and later acquired partial ownership of Oak Island. Their ongoing search for the treasure is depicted in The Curse of Oak Island. Marty Lagina and his family started Mari Vineyard in 1999 in Traverse City, Michigan. The winery is named after his Italian grandmother and features an enclosed tower atop walls of Upper Peninsula dolomitic limestone.
