Is DrLupo an actual Doctor?

Although Benjamin kinda looks like a doctor, he is not. His nickname DrLupo started as a joke in college. His father was a psychology professor at the university he attended. Benjamin's college friends changed his in-game name to DrLupo because they thought it would be funny imagining they are getting wrecked in Halo by their psychology professor. 

In an interview with Red Bull, Benjamin mentioned this nickname means a lot to him. He said that he believes people die twice in this world. Once when their body dies, and the second time when their name dies out and is never mentioned again. Benjamin stated that he always imagines his father when anyone calls him DrLupo, serving as his memorial.
