Biography Of The Lagina Brothers
Though the Lagina brothers, Rick and Marty, grew up in the same household sharing a lot in common, their initial different pursuits in life took them in different directions with equally different rewards and experiences. Both Rick and Marty Lagina were born in Kingsford, Dickinson County, Michigan in the United States of America. Their father was George Jacob Lagina, and mother was Ann Cavalieri Lagina. They also have a sister, Matina Lagina.
Rick Lagina, the older of the two, was born on January 25, 1952. He attended high school in his home town of Michigan, but there are no records or mention of the university he ever attended or the degree obtained from such. Information on Rick’s marital status isn’t publicly known, as no one knows whether he was ever married, or perhaps he is divorced.
Some people have suggested that Rick is gay, hence the reason why he has not made his relationship status public; while others simply believe he is shielding his family away from the prying eyes of the public. Rick is known to have retired from the employ of the United States Postal Service. He is 5 feet and 9 inches tall and is of average weight; he has brown eyes and light brown hair, with a full white beard.
The other half of the Lagina brothers, Marty Lagina, was born on August 26, 1955. Marty got admission into Michigan Technological University and graduated with a Bachelors of Science (B.Sc) degree in mechanical engineering in 1977. He enrolled again the same University the second time and obtained his second degree in Law in 1982. While he was in school studying Law, he undertook several consultancy jobs for some companies in the engineering field. Marty Lagina is happily married to his wife, Olivia, and they have two children – a son, Alex Lagina, and daughter, Maddie Lagina.
