About Sean Hummel, CFP®
Hi, I'm Sean Hummel, Founder and Financial Advisor of Ten Ring Wealth Advisors.Born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, I grew up with a strategist's mind and a heart for service. A collegiate athlete and Eagle Scout, I learned early how to stay calm under pressure, lead with intention, and help others rise to their challenges. Those qualities ultimately drew me toward personal financial planning in college, where I realized my natural strengths in strategy and problem-solving could make a meaningful difference in people's lives.
I began my career with McKinley Capital Management in Anchorage and later joined Merrill Lynch, where I helped clients navigate their most important financial decisions. Over time, however, I saw the industry drifting away from authentic personal service. Determined to change that, I first launched Hummel Planning and later founded Ten Ring Wealth Advisors in 2025—an independent, flat-fee, fee-only firm built to restore transparency, precision, and unwavering client-first guidance.
Today, I lead Ten Ring with the same intentionality I bring to my life outside the office, where my wife, Aly, and I (often with our golden-doodle Avicii in tow) travel the world, hike mountain ranges, scuba dive, ski, and explore new cultures. A passionate archer and lifelong adventurer, I channel that same focus and discipline into helping families achieve true financial sovereignty.

Wealthtender® is a trusted, independent financial directory and educational resource governed by our strict Editorial Policy, Integrity Standards, and Terms of Use. While we receive compensation from featured professionals (a natural conflict of interest), we always operate with integrity and transparency to earn your trust. Wealthtender is not a client of these providers. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are helpful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
