Energetic surf shop owner and surf contest organizer/judge from Satellite Beach, Florida; cofounder in 1971 of Natural Art Surfboards, and a longtime head judge at national and international professional surfing events. Dooley was born (1949) in Lakewood, Ohio, and began surfing at age 13 after his family moved to Tampa, Florida. 

In 1971 he launched Natural Art in Cocoa Beach, Florida, with soon-to-be East Coast Surfing Championships winner Greg Loehr; by the early '80s the shop was building and selling up to 4,000 boards a year. Additional Natural Art shops later opened in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, as well as other Florida locations. 

Dooley had meanwhile become a contest judge and a judge trainer, and helped to organize pro events on both American coasts, as well as France, Puerto Rico, Barbados, and Panama. He served as head judge for a number of world pro tour events, including the Op Pro and the California Stubbies Pro. 

Dooley was inducted into the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame in 2004.
