Looks like a young male Lyssomanes viridis. You're probably not going to find the green huntsman (Micrommata virescens) in North America- it has a European range. Green lynx males have larger palpal bulbs, and legs are generally a more yellow color and hairier than your picture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyssomanes_viridis
