I was standing outside my front door when i felt this guy crawling up my jaw line. It has 2 black stripes running along its body and 2 black doted stripes on its back rear side.and a white/yellow tone on the underside of his rear. Im just unfamilier with its markings and unsure of venomosity/toxicisity if any.

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 Your spider is one of the Funnel Weavers (Agelenidae). There are several similar looking genera in your region. Like most spiders they have venom but are only likely to bite in self defense and not considered to be of medical significance to people. It’s not one to worry over though I could see how an accident could potentially happen brushing one off your face!
