This is looking really nice. Lots of white space to allow the eyes some space to move around. I feel like since the words will be the first thing a visitor will read, it might need some rewording. The word "things" seems kind of vague and perhaps unnecessary. You could just say "with a knack for design." Also the next sentence starts with the word "Combined" and I'm not sure what that refers to. Perhaps its supposed to all be one sentence "I'm a web guy with a knack for design, combined with ..."
I dig the wood texture. As my friend says "Everything looks better on a wood background" haha.

I changed it slightly as you advised...
