I learned chess from my dad when I was around 9. He stopped playing me when I was 15 because I had started playing with some friends at school and began to beat him all the time. I played a couple of tournaments in high school, don't even remember how I did. I was totally overwhelmed by the experience. Used to play a lot of correspondence chess through USCF, but wasn't playing at all for the last 15 years or so. I really enjoy the friends that I have made here on chess.com and the new/renewed hobby.
