David Black says his aha! moment came in the grocery store parking lot after church one day in 2011, when his wife criticized him for impulsively agreeing to give a dollar to March of Dimes. Didn’t he know the group supports Planned Parenthood?
Black’s wife is Republican Representative Diane Black, a candidate for Tennessee governor and chair of the powerful House Budget Committee. The Blacks made their fortune creating and selling Aegis Science Corp., the drug-testing company they founded in 1990, based on David’s work as a forensic toxicologist at Vanderbilt University. The company sold for an undisclosed amount in 2014, and Black stayed on as chief executive officer until last year.
