Lavery grew up in Lawrence Township, Mercer County, New Jersey and graduated from Lawrence High School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey[4] and the Rutgers University School of Engineering in 1990. During his time in college, he played in a band named "True."[5] Lavery and his fellow members of True (minus bass player Dave Nitti) traveled to Los Angeles to try to become professional musicians. They were discovered by Paul A. Rothchild, who had managed musical acts such as The Doors.[5] The band True was short-lived though, breaking up. Paul Rothchild's son Dan happened to be the original bass player in Tonic. Dan Rothchild left Tonic in 1996, and Emerson Hart subsequently asked Lavery to join Tonic.[5]
