First Impression
"TOO DARK!"
Design
First, let me start out by telling you what I like. I like the way the navigation interacts with the mouse. It's cool. Here's what I don't like: how it's executed. Your site is too round, and not in a cool way. The backgrounds you have for your headers just look too puffy. The same goes for your logo. It's trying too hard to reach for "Web 2.0" and it looks really fuzzy. Right now everything feels like it's trying to o hard to look "cool and up to date."
You should consider picking a color scheme that works well in black colors. Perhaps just using black with another, more vibrant color to create contrast, or using better shades of gray, and a background that isn't pure black. Be inventive!
Another thing I've noticed is that the text on your front page is two different sizes. Never use headers for creating body text, it ruins consistency. People who want to read your page will read it, regardless of text size, you don't need to throw it at them.
Content
All of your "sales copy" is essentially two sentences in different forms. "I'm Curtis. I love web design." You could easily reduce the three paragraphs into one comprehensive one that might work better for you.
You've got some decent portfolio samples that show off a much better array of skill than your actual portfolio is right now. Don't go all out, but try to be consistent with showing your best stuff.
Overall
Overhaul the design, reduce everything down, and you'll be good to go.
