Mr. Doggett graduated in 1992 from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Science degree in Atmospheric Sciences and received his commission through Air Force ROTC. He spent eight years on active duty, first in Idaho as a weather officer, then in Ohio as a student, and finally in North Carolina as a research meteorologist. He left the active duty Air Force in 2001 to pursue a civilian career in his present position at Oregon State University. His forecasting experience for the military continues today part-time while serving in the Oregon Air National Guard.

As a civilian since 2001, Mr Doggett combines a rare set of interdisciplinary skills and knowledge in atmospheric sciences, computer software and hardware engineering, and geographic information systems (GIS). He designed and maintains the official PRISM Group website. He was lead designer for several database-enabled applications that enabled the creation of high-resolution climate datasets and maps that have become the national standard for temperature and precipitation. In order to make these datasets available to the general public, he created a web-based, GIS Mapserver application that facilitates analysis of grass species suitability studies. Doing this required the latest computer and software technologies involving FORTRAN, C, PERL, HTML, Java, PHP, and ArcGIS. His expertise in software and hardware design led to a system that takes advantage of parallel operations on a cluster of Linux workstations. He has also part of the Group’s effort to implement a PostgreSQL relational database system which further enhanced model performance and office productivity
