Welcome to TWF, thanks for reviewing some sites, feel free to review more Smiling
It looks a little unfinished, not sure if I like the navigation way up there, it kind of looks out of place. maybe betwen the banner and text section would work better.
The bottom section is missing something too, maybe add navigation and copyright or date or something down there just to finish it off.
Instead of grey, maybe another light color, or a lighter grey, shame the guy was wearing a coloured shirt to introduce another color. maybe continue the ribbon effect from the banner into the text area as a muted background.
It has a slight alignment problem in NS4.7 - that's a css issue

I agree with Busy that the navigation would look better between the header and main section. The layout is not bad but nothing special either! The greys make it feel dull and the font for the logo could be better, maybe a more script/handwriting so it's almost like his signature?? You have a good starting point but it needs colour to bring it alive.

The nav really looks out of place, and it does look a bit dull, try adding some more colours to it Smiling

I think you should use the first page as just a very brief introduction of Mr. Thomas and put the rest of the text on other pages. Maybe an about page. That really is a lot of reading and most people aren't going to read all that anyway in my opinion.

Nice start for the layout. I agree with putting the nav below the header graphic. It does look out of place up there in the top left corner.

Colors....a bit dull looking right now. Also, I don't think the blue/purple color goes well with the grays. But I do like the grays. Have you tried a white/offwhite or a really light gray background for the top part and use some color in the title name to liven things up a bit? just a thought.

I think someone has already mentioned adding a secondary set of nav links at the bottom. You could also stick a copyright notice down there too.
