So what ,Dee is not a heavy weight in the education department.Most importantly America is in a depression there will be few if any construction work going on Dee will be like the Maytag man ...nothing to do except go and apply for unemployment benefits
I think the person who made the last comment is an idiot and have absolutely no idea of what to comment on. I am pretty sure this person is one of the many Liberians that always think that education is everything. Please don't get me wrong, education is the key to many successes in this world that we live in today. Mr. Dee that I don't know have work his whole entire life being the best engineer in his discipline that he could be and now that he has succeeded in some what by taking over one of the largest engineering firms in this great country called the United States and for him to be ridiculed its a shame. We are suppose to be our brothers keeper and not bring people down for their successes but rather be happy for them. So mr previous writer please have some decency of apologizing to Mr. Dee beacuse he has work his rear ends up extremely hard to be where he's at today. There are thousands of engineering firms in this country and for one of our very own to lead the 28th largest firm and we criticize him for not being educated its a shame. Mr Dee may not have gotten an ivy league education that if you know what an ivy league is, but in the eyes of many he is highly qualify and my hat goes off to him. Last but not the least mr previous writer, I am a very young man who recently graduated college here in the U.S and I look up to people like Mr. Dee and tell myself that I can be whatver I want to be if I dedicate myself to my decipline. I definitely don't ever want to be like you because its a shame for me to see success and take it for anything less than what it is. Engineers in the U.S build our infrastructures here so it is very unlikely for an American company to entrust someone they don't think qualify to lead the 28th largest engineering firms in the U.S. Thank you.
Thanks Mr. O for your comments. I may not know Mr. Dee but I am happy for his accomplishments so far. We Liberians are so naive in our thinking and self destructive. Instead of us been happy for Dee achievements, we are on here criticizing him by saying he is not a heavy or not highly educated, The guy hold a BA and Master degrees what education do you want him to get in other for one to acknowledge him. So because he is not a Phd degree holder so he not educated? I just obtained my BA in political science from Metropolitan State University in Minnesota,USA and currently studying development studies and international polititical studies at Uppsala University in Sweden. Are you telling me that my education don't count because I am not a so call heavy weight (phd holder)?
Our country is just recovering from civil war and our professionals (labors force)are aging and we have very few professionals to fill the vault, it will take Dee and others Liberian enquiring education in Liberia and abroad to fill in. So stop hating and be happy for the Brother.Try to get your own education and contribute to Liberia.
Mr O thanks your comments. I may not know Mr. Dee but I am happy for his accomplishment. We Liberians are so naive in our thinking and self destructive. Instead us been happy for this guy who in my opinion have achieve alot we are criticizin him that he is not a heavy or not highly educated, The guy hold a BA and Master degrees what education do you want him to get in other for one to acknowledge him. So because he is not a Phd degree holder so he not educated?

I would like to thank Mr. Dee for his achievement so far. I wish him the best in his endeaver.
This is a great achievement for a fellow Liberian, which demands commendable applauds. But it is unfortunate that this poor analysis of the US economy, along with Mr. Dee's "not [being] a heavy weight in the education department",whatever that means, is a dis-service to Mr. Dee.
And judging from Mr. Dee's experience in the area the years and the area of responsibilities,it is ridiculous to say he is not educated enough.
