Araneus diadematus
Hi Joseph, nice spider! I was wondering if you have any other views of this beauty. I think it more closely resembles a Marbled Orbweaver, Araneus marmoreus:

Your spider is much more brightly colored and the banding on the legs match the banding on the pictures from BugGuide.
Here is a link to the Araneus diadematus page so you can compare images:
