'DrDisRespect,' "Guy," or 'The Doc' is born with the name Herschel Beahm IV on March 10, 1982, in California. The 38-year-old streamer is surprisingly 6'8" with a vertical reach of 38 inches, an exciting fact that ESPN shared.
Legit said that Beahm is a graduate of California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, where he played basketball that even got him into the NCAA Division II.
He occasionally plays video games, and his whole 'Doctor' persona developed way back in 2004 when Xbox's Halo 2 offered him and a couple of other gamers a chance to 'voice chat' in real-time.
2011 allowed him to be a community manager for "Sledgehammer Games" where he rose to be a level designer that ultimately led to his contribution of maps to hit shooter game, "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare."
Shortly, he joined Justin.Tv, who then changed its name to Twitch. In 2015, he quit Sledgehammer and went on to be a full-time online streamer for the channel.
