Welcome to Project Noah Courtney! Goody is correct, we always like to have a photo that is clear enough to make an accurate ID. Luckily this little guy has a fairly distinctive white dot on his abdomen & I am reasonably confident he is a bold jumping spider. I will provide you with more details in the ID suggestion box so you can update the info on the spotting.

Hi, Courtney. I'm not sure if this image is clear enough to garner an ID, but hopefully someone will recognize it. It's definitely a jumping spider in the Family Salticidae, so I went ahead and moved it to the Arthropod category for you.
