   Such is the story of Mark Berwick, a Punahou grad who went to make his fortune in the world only to be wooed back home by some beautiful brown eyes on a sunset sail off Waikiki - a happy coincidence that forever changed the arc of his life.
   
   He had gotten his bachelor's degree at the University of Colorado in international business and politics, and seemed destined for great things. He spent time in Florence, Italy, and Osaka, Japan, experiencing the world, tasting life.

   While in graduate school in San Francisco, he rediscovered his childhood passion for cricket. He had discovered it on a family trip to Europe in 1979, but there was not much cricket to be found in the U.S. before this for Berwick. He was introduced to some traveling clubs from Australia that came through to play matches. It seems that Australia has lots of cricket clubs, and now it had one more American.
   
   Cricket was his love, but business was his trade and he made short work of setting up a consulting firm and establishing Australian residency.
   
   Berwick advised small businesses on how they could make inroads in the American marketplace.

   "I went back to Australia and we wrote for three months and I got the old fish-or-cut-bait, so I fished," says Berwick.
   
   Home in Hawaii, he had the love of a good woman and a series of decent jobs. He sold advertising for the PennySaver and Honolulu Weekly, and he helped partner a direct-mail magazine.
   
   Not what he wanted to be doing, not what he had gotten his MBA for, but it kept the two of them and their baby daughter Holly living indoors. Also, he got to be president of the Honolulu Cricket Club, not the most competitive in the world, but at least he got to knock the ball around a bit.

   Most importantly, he was learning the world of business, Hawaiian style.
   
   "Honolulu is a bit odd in that sense," says Berwick about the business culture in the Islands.
