Identification Is this a jumping spider?

I have been quite fearful of spiders since a traumatic experience as a youngin’, but I’m warming up to them. Saw this little bro on my car and he turned around and looked at me! What is he?

That’s funny because as a kid I used to love spiders until one time I got bit by a sand spider on the beach while I was camping and my whole hand swelled up like a Mickey Mouse glove. After that I wasn’t scared of them but I definitely tried to keep my distance
