Brief Professional Biography:
Dr. Black is a self employed physician, presently in the
full time practice of medicine as a pathologist. He does
locum tenens work and this requires some amount of
traveling. He is licensed to practice in several states and
is board certified in his specialty. He began his career at
the Wadsworth Veterans Hospital in West Los Angeles after
completing his training in Pathology and a Fellowship in the
study of Clinical Chemistry. He became a professor in
Pathology while there at the school of medicine at the
University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). He taught
students, pathology residents and technical students while
at the Veterans Hospital.
Dr. Black has extensive business experience in
directing medical laboratories both commercial, private and
government. He was a Vice President for medical affairs and
medical director for Psychemedics Corporation in the late
1980's. He has been in business and is familiar with the
problems that businessmen face not only due to markets but
also the influences and problems with government regulations
and bureaucracies. In the last few years he has been
working contracts in various parts of southern and central
California. He has also worked extensively in Texas.
He is a graduate of Harding University with a bachelor
of science degree and a medical degree from the University
of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. He was raised

and has lived overseas for a period for the purpose of
studies and also work assignments. He is unmarried, 52
years of age and has lived in Malibu for 21 years. He

He is a lifelong libertarian and believes in the
sovereignty of the individual. That the only real function
of government is as Mr. Jefferson said to preserve the
rights of the individual. He as a physician is used to
making tough decisions and his experience in dealing with
government agencies, his varied business interests and his
philosophy of what government is, what it can and not do and
what it should and should not do is qualification enough.
