About Us
Our Founders & Benefactors
Kimberley and Scott Sheffield have been visiting New Mexico for over 60 years from their original home bases in Texas from Lubbock, Midland and Dallas. They have owned property for over 25 years in the Santa Fe and Taos areas. They retired in 2025 and moved to Santa Fe where they love the natural beauty of the outdoors, the fabulous food, amazing history, and the charm of The Land of Enchantment.
They met Eleanor Brenner in 2019 and fell in love with her and her mission of First Serve to help the students in local schools. They teamed up shortly thereafter to build the headquarters of First Serve New Mexico and the Forked Lightning Racquet Club which opened in October 2025.
​
Kim was raised in Lubbock and moved to Midland to work for a large oil and gas company in 1979. She later met Scott there and they married in 2001. Scott was raised in Tehran, Iran and later became the Chairman and CEO of Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company in Midland, Texas. Scott was the founder of Pioneer Natural Resources in 1997 located in Dallas. Pioneer later became the largest independent in the Permian Basin. They have 5 children and 12 grandchildren that all love racquet sports, fly fishing, horseback riding and snow skiing.
