Hello, I'm John Shandy`, but you're welcome to call me Shandy for short. My areas of interest are: international finance, development economics, international development, international relations, geopolitics, risk management, astronomy, and secular humanism. I enjoy meeting new people from around the world and sharing culture. I am a natural born skeptic, but an eager and optimistic problem solver. If there's anything else you might like to know, just ask. :)
