FALLSTON CLUB BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ NOMINEES
Taylor Brown
My name is Taylor Brown Wood, and my family and I have been members of The Fallston Club since 2022.
My connection to the club runs much deeper, however, as my parents first became members in 1996 after both working as lifeguards at the club during their teenage years.
Growing up, my sisters and I spent countless summers at The Fallston Club as members of the swim team, creating memories and friendships that have lasted a lifetime. I later had the privilege of serving the club for eight years as a lifeguard, supervisor, and assistant manager. My involvement also extended to the Fallston Fins swim team, where I served as an assistant coach for five years and head coach for three summers.
A 2007 graduate of Fallston High School, I went on to compete as an NCAA Division I swimmer at Marshall University in West Virginia. I graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care and spent 13 years working in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital. In September 2025, I transitioned to WellSpan York Hospital, where I now serve as Manager of the Mechanical Circulatory Support Program. My husband, CJ, is also a Marshall graduate and currently works for the Department of Defense at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Together, we have called Harford County home for the past 14 years, including the last six years here in Fallston.
After joining the board in 2022, I have dedicated my time to numerous initiatives, including beautification projects and social events such as the Ice Cream Social and Family Movie Nights. In January 2024, I expanded my involvement by joining the Executive Board as Secretary, a position I continue to hold today.
My son, Remington (7), joined the swim team in 2024, with my daughter, Wellesley (5), following in 2025.
Since 2024, I have served as Swim Team Liaison to the Board and as The Fallston Club’s representative to the Harford Swim League. I have also helped coordinate the swim team concession stand for the past two seasons.
It is incredibly important to me that Remy and Wellsie have the same opportunities to grow, play, learn, and build lifelong friendships at The Fallston Club that my sisters and I enjoyed. I would be honored to continue serving on the Board of Directors and look forward to helping ensure that The Fallston Club remains a thriving, welcoming, and family-centered community for generations to come.
Amy Cooper
My husband, son and I have been members since we moved to the Fallston area in 2018. We joined to make friends in our new town and that objective has been achieved!
Professionally, I am the Vice President of Asset Management for Kimco Realty, one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use properties in the United States. Though the job of Asset Management is sometimes difficult to define, my day is filled with making decisions to improve the value for 600 properties across the country. This can include dealing with retail tenants, negotiating monetary settlements, collaborating with other departments, or even picking out furniture for an apartment rooftop deck.
In summary, my family and I love coming to the Fallston Swim Club every summer and though I don’t think anything needs to change I’d be happy to serve on the Board to assist with any decisions.
Justin Halligan
My name is Justin Halligan, and for more than five years, my family and I have been proud members of Fallston Club. What started as a place to spend summer days has become so much more: a place where our daughter makes memories, neighbors become friends, and our community comes together.
If you’ve spent much time around Fallston Club, you’ve probably seen me there. I attend nearly every Fallston Club event, stay active in the community, and can often be found on the beach volleyball court rounding up a game on Sunday afternoons. Fallston Club has become a big part of our family’s life, and I’m running for the Board of Directors because I want to help give back to the community we’ve come to love.
Professionally, I bring experience in leadership, operations, and problem-solving. In my current public service role, I manage teams, oversee day-to-day operations, and tackle whatever challenges come through the door. I also spent more than five years managing food service operations, giving me hands-on experience with budgets, vendors, inventory, efficiency, and, most importantly, keeping people happy.
