My about page gets a white space line at the top

There was a question similar to this a month ago but no response was given. As the question stated I get a white space above my green header in my browsers (chrome and safari tested). When I remove the code "float: left;" from the below section of my responsive.css file it works but i lose my float. any suggestions?.

/*********************************************** PAGE: ABOUT ***********************************************/

.profile-photo {

float: left;
margin: 0 5% 80px 0;}

Thanks Ted, Im pretty new with all this stuff, as i was reading your link on floats I thought to myself I wouldn't be able to understand it, I kinda did and I'm sure I'll get better with the understanding part of such reads eventually. I was surprised to be able to understand enough that a simple < br > did the Job even if it is a little crude as the site said.

Thanks again
