In Roswell, you might spot Nick Porche chatting with a neighbor at Deep Roots Wine Market, ordering his favorite meal at 1920 on Canton Street, or attending school events with his family. He’s the kind of neighbor who remembers your dog’s name and asks how your week is going—not because he has to, but because he genuinely wants to know.
Nick is the Chief Financial Officer of a multinational company, where he manages large budgets, oversees financial planning, and implements systems that keep teams aligned and accountable. That same steady, practical approach carries over into his everyday life in Roswell, where he’s known for following through and staying organized behind the scenes. He co-owns Stems on the Move, a local flower shop that’s quietly become part of the fabric of Roswell life—gifts for everything from birthdays and baby showers to backyard weddings and graduation bouquets.
He’s a familiar face in Roswell’s public schools, where his two sons are enrolled and where he’s been an active part of the PTO for years. When a new digital sign for the school—like others around the city—seemed out of reach, he coordinated with the City of Roswell, Fulton County, and Georgia Power to make it happen. He also led PTO fundraising efforts for a crossing guard, resigning after three weeks, citing threats to his safety from speeding drivers, underscoring the ongoing challenges around school zone safety. Whether he’s tackling logistics or helping others connect the dots, Nick brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every role he takes on.
Nick regularly hosts neighborhood gatherings and community events, and he rarely misses a local festival. His favorite is the Roswell Arts Festival, which he attends every year with his family. Nick and his family have a 17-year-old Brussels Griffon named Cooper. He once won a national grocery bagging competition—and yes, he can quote Steel Magnolias on demand.
This November, Nick will be on the ballot for Roswell City Council. His candidacy reflects the steady involvement, collaborative spirit, and practical leadership style that neighbors have come to know—whether on a front porch, school fundraiser, or along the Greenway. He’s focused on making city finances more transparent, improving infrastructure and public safety in ways that meet residents’ everyday needs, and preserving the green spaces that make Roswell feel like home.
