A Lifelong Connection to Brunswick and Its Values

Josyl Barchue ’00 is a proud Brunswick lifer, enrolling in pre-K in 1986 and graduating in 2000, having moved from Arkansas to Greenwich as an infant, after his mother, a native of the West Indies, secured work as a nurse in New York. The move proved propitious. 

“Brunswick is such a core part of my identity. I had so many teachers, coaches, and others who served as mentors along the way,” Josyl said. “Perhaps none as influential as Mac Caputo, my best friend’s father, who alongside my grandfather, a school principal and justice of the peace in the West Indies, remain major influences on my life.” 

While at Brunswick, Josyl found a passion for community service, which earned him the Community Service Award during his tenure. He attended Boston College, where he studied computer science, philosophy, and law, and later Fordham University School of Law. 

In 2019, emulating Mac Caputo, Josyl was elected to the Brunswick Board of Trustees. He works as a Senior Associate General Counsel for UnitedHealth Group, while maintaining a pro-bono private law practice specializing in intellectual property. 

He and his wife, Heather, along with his two stepdaughters and young son, live in the beautiful Silvermine area of Norwalk, CT. Josyl is already making plans for his son, Noah, to follow in dad’s footsteps at Brunswick.
