The executive portrait photo-shoot for Managing Director John Cleveland of SFC Energy Partners was more than just an enjoyable experience, it was fun.  At the beginning of an environmental executive portrait session it usually takes a few minutes of banter before we really start to make interesting photography.  But John was ready to shine from the start.  And as I told him during the photo-shoot, he could moonlight as an executive model.

John has 34 years of experience and has spent his entire career in the natural resources industry on both the technical and finance sides of the business.  In 2000, he opened and managed the Denver office of a large multinational finance organization focused on private equity investments in the oil and gas sector. Prior to this, he headed the oil and gas finance office of an international energy company and worked for two large banks and a securities firm. John began his oil career in 1976 as a field geologist working on hard rock mineral projects in the Rocky Mountains and Alaska.
