From what I can see, I'd guess it's in the family Pisauridae (Nursury web spiders), VERY cloesly related to wolf spiders. The eye arrangement and relative size are a wee bit different in these two groups.
This one, as a larger guess, looks a lot like Dolomedes tenebrosis.
Wow. I'll look that one up. I thought it might be a Wolf Spider, too. Actually at first I thought it might be a Brown Recluse but didn't want to spook my wife. And I didn't see that "violin" mark. But the eyes do look different from what I found on WikiHow - four small, two big then two medium.
