He wanted minimalistic with a dark background and white text - not my first choice of background and color but the client is always right.

Thanks

Well, it looks artsy and minimalistic.

Seems to me that with white text on dark backgrounds, the letters' closeness to each other becomes more noticeable. I think some letter-spacing would be helpful. I'd try .1em or maybe a bit more, it might make the text a little more readable.

Not sure about the dotted line; everything else is clean.

A bit of margin at the bottom might look good.

I would try also some letter spacing in the strapline/motto below his name. The font there is pretty small with Firefox.

Just a side comment: I have no idea where that saying comes from. Maybe some kind of note somewhere explaining its significance??

I like it but with one problem. I was actually waiting for something like an image to appear on the left half of the page. I feel the unbalanced approach is distracting as my eye gets drawn the large blank space, making it hard to read the text without wondering what was meant to go to the left.
