Schreiber is a native of Albert Lea and opened Tri-State Tax and Accounting in 1983. He opened a second tax office, Refunds USA, in the downtown area during the fall of 2003.

“I was born here in Albert Lea and I went from kindergarten through 12th grade in the Albert Lea school district. I left Minnesota for a few years and lived in Texas, California and Iowa. During that time I obtained my accounting degree and acquired great work experience in the field of tax and accounting. After a few years I came back to my hometown to start my business. It’s been a joy, a wonderful journey and great privilege to live and work in this community. I’m also very blessed to have a knowledgeable and hardworking staff to help me serve the fine individuals and businesses in this area,” Schreiber said.
