Wissam “Sam” Alherech started working in his family’s juice bar business, in the heart of NYC, at a young age. This is where he began learning business fundamentals. He was inspired by his own family’s story of migrating to a new country, in debt, and building something meaningful. He has always had a general curiosity about the world around him and developed this further as he progressed through life. After managing several businesses, including a Belgian restaurant chain in NYC, he decided to pursue a degree in business. During his academic pursuits, he found a passion for helping others with their studies.

In 2010, he started his own tutoring business, and he was able to pair his passions for teaching, his curiosity, and his accounting and finance education. In this business, he often helped both Certified Public Accountant and Chartered Financial Analyst candidates achieve their respective credentials. Upon completing his undergraduate degree, Sam worked in public accounting with two of the Big Four. His area of expertise was alternative investments within the financial services sector, specifically focusing on hedge funds, PE funds, and broker-dealers, servicing their external audit needs.

In 2017, Sam enrolled in the Executive MBA program at Chapman University in Orange, CA. His experience in the program was very enriching and helped him view business activities in a whole new light. It also opened doors to other local small business opportunities.

In early 2021, Sam pivoted his career to be more fulfilling by starting his company, Seabreeze Ventures, partnering with/leverage the Buckingham Investments’ (a local real estate broker) model of promoting financial literacy and helping families build generational wealth through real estate as an asset class. Sam’s career focus is back to its roots of curiosity and education. He helps raise capital for and structure syndications while also identifying and executing ideal multi-family transactions in line with each of his clients’ unique investment profiles. Seabreeze Ventures also has a financial literacy content creation arm that aims to create digital content to further the goal of leveling the playing field for underserved communities when it comes to understanding money. He now educates on the benefits of real estate as an asset class and helps his clients build legacies for generations to come.

Sam’s business, accounting, and finance experience across industries, paired with his passion for educating and empowering others, makes him a valuable member of the Stock Doc executive team. Sam has helped develop the Stock Doc community’s knowledge base by working one-on-one with members to help them along their investing journey. He did this by explaining how the capital markets operate, how derivative securities can be used, and how to structure derivative positions to mitigate risk.

Sam is also a certified Hot Yoga instructor. Although he doesn’t actively teach, he stays fit and can most often be found tackling his next DIY project, as he enjoys getting his hands dirty learning something new. Above all else, Sam spends most of his time with his best friend, his beautiful wife, as they endeavor to find the next great excursion to adventure together.
