Reiswerg attended Indiana University (Psychology; 2002), where he was a goalkeeper on the Hoosiers soccer team from 1999 to 2002.[1][4] He was a member of Indiana University's 1999 NCAA National Championship team, as well as a part of three IU squads that advanced to the College Cup Final Four.[1] Additionally, the Hoosiers captured four Big Ten regular season titles, and two Big Ten Tournament championships during his playing career.[1] Reiswerg was a 4-time Alpha Beta Academic Award honoree during his career.[1]
In April 2003, Reiswerg signed a professional contract with the Cincinnati Riverhawks of the USL A-League. Reiswerg appeared in six games that season for the Riverhawks, starting five.[5] He made his professional debut for Cincinnati on May 2, 2003, when he came on as a substitute in the Riverhawks' 3–0 victory over the Indiana Blast. In his first professional start, Reiswerg recorded 12 saves in a 3–0 shutout victory over the El Paso Patriots on May 10. For his efforts, Reiswerg was named to the USL A-League Team of the Week.[1] Reiswerg won his second start against the Blast, 2–1, in his home city of Indianapolis, on May 16.[6] Reiswerg also started the Riverhawks' 2nd round U.S. Open Cup match against the Minnesota Thunder, a 2–1 overtime defeat.

Reiswerg represented the United States as the starting goalkeeper for three international Maccabiah competitions, culminating in the 2005 Maccabiah Games in Israel.[1] At the 2005 games, Reiswerg recorded shutouts in 3 of his first 4 games, which included a penalty shootout victory over Mexico in the semifinals following a 0–0 draw.[8] After blanking Mexico for 120 minutes, Reiswerg saved a potentially game-winning penalty kick on Mexico's 5th spot-kick. Then in sudden-death penalties, he again made a save and then watched his team convert their attempt to seal the victory. The dramatic win advanced the Americans to the tournament final vs. Israel. The United States team lost 2–0 to Israel's U-20 National Team in the final, and won the silver medal.[1]
Reiswerg was an assistant coach for the IUPUI Jaguars men's soccer team from 2006 to 2010.[1] His primary duty was training the goalkeepers. The Jaguars advanced to the Summit League tournament in each of his five seasons at IUPUI, and were finalists in 2007.[1] Under Reiswerg's watch in 2009, the team's goalkeepers posted the lowest team goals against average, and highest save percentage since IUPUI's NCAA Tournament team in 2000.[1] In 2010, the Jaguars keepers bested their 2009 goals against average, recording a combined 1.06 GAA.
