Early life

Tom Schreiber's father, Doug Schreiber, was an exceptional lacrosse player. Doug won the 1973 college national player of the year award and the 1973 national championship while playing for the University of Maryland lacrosse team. In 1993, he was inducted into the USA Lacrosse Hall of Fame. He also played for Team USA, winning the 1974 World Lacrosse Championship. In 2023, he won the Tewaaraton Legend Award. Doug owns a food service business and is a lacrosse coach.
