Tom is one of five brothers - two of whom are audio and mix engineers, namely Chris Lord-Alge and Jeff Lord-Alge. Their mother was a jazz singer and pianist, while their father sold jukeboxes for a living. After doing live sound engineering for some time, Tom joined his older brother Chris at Unique Recording in New York City in 1984. Tom began working as an assistant to Chris, who was then a staff engineer, and later became staff engineer until 1988.
