Looking into it more there's another similar spider called the Harpactes rubicundus. Looking at the head it seems more likely to be that kind.
Either way it's bite seems to be an annoyance but not a problem.

The difference I see in that one is that the front part of the body and back part seem to connect directly together.. this one has another segment in between the front and back.

From all the photos I've looked at online, it came closest to resembling the female funnel web spider found in australia. But we don't have those here so I'm sure it can't be that. It also didn't have the 2 little spines on it's butt like the funnel web has. Any idea if there are relatives of the funnel web here in the US that resemble the aussie ones?
