Thank you for taking the time to evaluate.

White male, 27, married

Work Experience:

-- (Former) - Boutique consulting firm while in school (competitive, leadership positions), small tech company internship
***I'm considering a job change to Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Disney, or other similar F100. Hopefully in some sort of Japanese-speaking or Asia Markets role.
Extra:
-- 50-mile ultramarathon finisher, Boston Marathon finisher -- started out as a 16yr at 240lb and overweight, started running and became addicted. In total 1 ultra marathon, 4 full marathons, 5 half marathons, and various other small races - multiple awards for fast time (e.g. top 1% of division)

-- Started small non-profit website to help teens find jobs - ran it for 3 years and had a small amount of success, but nothing standout
-- Various other small leadership roles throughout undergrad and LDS church participation
Goal:
I'd like to leverage my Japanese experience to work for a global tech or pharma company in some sort of Japanese speaking role. Either in the US or in Japan. Also open to M/B/B in Tokyo.
As you can tell, I'm still trying to nail down my story and do what I need to do over the next year and a half so I can maximize my chances when I apply. The Japanese angle seems like my best bet, but I'm open to whatever will maximize my chances. I'm really just passionate about getting the best business education in the world.
