After sifting through your code, I found one mistake that may slightly impact your code.
margin-top: 0 0 30px 0;
To remove any white space above your header, try adding the code below to your header.
top: 0;
This will hopefully remove any white space above your header. Let us know if it works!
P.S: This is also useful for your footer. Adding bottom: 0; will push the footer down to the bottom.

9,147 PointsHi, Anthony,
Thanks for the advise, however, the space is still there, I am wondering if the normalize.css is causing this issue.
