Gen Millare

Gen—or Genesis, if you want to add 2 more syllables— spends his time collecting the things that often get overlooked: people, ideas, and the signals that others might miss. Having grown up between his mother’s warmth and his father’s toughness, he learned early on that the best things in life are those that give more than they take.

Sunnyside started at home, watching his own daughter navigate the highs and lows of homeschooling and witnessing the heavy weight of isolation firsthand. The moment he saw a group of teens finally feel "at home" together, the purpose clicked: unlonely the journey.

Grounded, autistic, and openly imperfect, Gen builds with more heart than polish. He’s a non-swimmer and a non-cyclist, probably a bit too blunt for his own good. He builds Sunnyside on an all-day breakfast model—simple, warm, and always there, best shared with others.
