Max Schikora, the mastermind behind the cocktails at Echelon in downtown Ann Arbor, hasn’t had a drink in five years—and he’s leading a team where sobriety is the norm, not the exception. Despite working in an industry built around alcohol, Max’s story is all about second chances, daily commitment, and building a welcoming space for everyone, drinkers and non-drinkers alike. His journey shows how recovery and hospitality can go hand-in-hand. What do you think: Can someone in recovery thrive in a bar environment, or is it too risky? #Food #AnnArbor #Sobriety
