Play some correspondence in USCF, including the Electronic Knights, but I've never made it past the first stage (3.5/6). I'm the only player to play in the CSCA correspondence championship all four years 2009: 6.0/8 (2nd), 2010: 2.0/6 (5th), 2011: 3.5/6 (3rd), 2012: Registered but not started.
Currently live in Columbia, SC, but used to direct and organize tournaments in CO and was the CSCA President for one year (2008-09). These days, I hardly do any directing, but in the past year I finally managed to get my last two credits towards Senior TD, took the test, and passed (barely).
I'm a class A OTB player (1835) but that's probably an overestimation of my strength, as I played a grand total of 8 rated games in 2010 and 8 games in 2011 and I'm certainly out of practice. My last big tournament was the 2009 US Open where I had a decent performance (4.5/9) including a win over FM (now IM) Jake Kleiman.
