Meet the team powering our mission.

Jim Ranieri

Founder and Managing Partner

Jim loves books, coffee, beers, and long conversations, so he started Beow’s! Have questions about Beow’s, the vision, the function, the events, or anything else? Please reach out to jim@beows.co

Chad Mastny

Partner

Chad, a Nebraska native, moved to Raleigh in 1988. Both Chad and Jim believe in slowing down, reconnecting face-to-face, and engaging in meaningful conversations that are often lost in today's social media-driven society. Beow's Books and Brews provides the perfect environment for these discussions, offering an inviting space to enjoy coffee or a pint while fostering connection. Reach Chad at chad@beows.co
