A Modern Day Renaissance Man
Rick Olivares
If the name is unmistakably familiar, its because it is. the man is just literally everywhere unless you were living under the rocks with Fred and Barney
Sir Rick has more than 2 decades experience in media as a newspaper reporter, columnist , broadcast journalist, and recently more as an independent Blogger.
He has also written for notable Print medias conpanies such as Philippine Daily Inquirer, , Philstar, FHM, Maxim, Philippines Free Press, football Philippines among others and currently writes for Philstar.com and a regular columnist at ABS-CBN News and Business Mirror
He also did some Television works for ABS CBN , Solar Sports and Sports 5 and reporting for DZRH.
And not to forget sharing his thoughts eloquently on his blogsite, Bleachers Brew which remains active since 2006
It's admirable and rare you get to know a guy who is into a lot of things and is so deeply knowledgable on its every subject matter.
Basketball, Football, Volleyball, Boxing, Tennis, Baseball, Mixed Martial Arts, Chess and just about any sports that there is.
Also a big Movie/ TV series enthusiast, a huge Comics , Books and Music (Vinyl/CD/Cassette) collector and i need to say i was really amazed with his profound music vocabulary. From mainstream music to Alternative, to Jazz down to the underground scene of Hardcore, Punk and ska and to the alternate universe of indie, ethereal, shoegaze or even some obscure bands that were not even aware even existed that proves his eclectic taste for music, and perhaps anything in between. Its amazing to read bits of history and especially his personal journey and stories behind it .
Recently he played a significant part in making The Jerks EP (c.early 80s) finally seeing the light of day and further emphasizing the band's place and importance in the local Rock scene.
So much admiration for trully a Modern day Renaissance man.
