Integrity - Service - Stewardship
About Mason Roszel
Mason has been serving on Sugar Hill City Council since November of 2021.
Mason and his wife, Brandy, live near downtown Sugar Hill with their children, Collier, Shepherd and Peyton and their Goldendoodle, Lulah. Mason grew up close to Sugar Hill in Hall County where he found his love for building community through his time spent in scouting and on mission trips in high school. After achieving the Eagle Scout rank and graduating high school in Sugar Hill, Mason attended the United States Military Academy at West Point. This season provided a strong foundation of service that has fueled his desire to serve others. As newlyweds, Mason and Brandy purchased their first home in Sugar Hill and began to look for ways to get involved and build community.
Mason and Brandy are Foster Parents and are actively involved in the Foster Care community in Gwinnett. Mason helped to form the Sugar Hill Running Club, is actively involved at Gwinnett Church, serves on the School Council for Sugar Hill Elementary, leads regular community hikes and quarterly downtown cleanup days, and has served for over five years on the Sugar Hill Downtown Development Authority Board (DDA).
Outside of his role on the city council, Mason has spent the majority of his career working in technology sales, building executive relationships with large enterprises. Mason is passionate about stewarding the development of Sugar Hill toward reaching its incredible future potential.
Mason’s areas of focus include: encouraging community-influenced growth, maintaining clear communication between the council and community, protecting as well as activating Sugar Hill’s parks and greenspace and setting a high bar for Sugar Hill's downtown development.

Sugar Hill is at a very important point in our city's evolution. As a community, we have the opportunity to shape the future of the Sweet City together, ensuring our best years are yet to come. I want to see Sugar Hill continue to become a thriving city where our citizens can live, work and play, throughout all seasons of life, while also preserving our small town charm for the next generation. I believe in a smart and balanced approach to growth and preservation, understanding that growth is inevitable but thoughtful planning maximizes the quality of life for all of us.
