He owned the web design firm, Creative Internet Solutions, which he sold in 1999 . While there, he developed the idea to open a video-game playing facility while watching his employees play computer games after work. He owned the videogame salon The Stomping Grounds, with a location in Minneapolis and a second location that opened in 2002.The salon, one of the original PC-gaming rooms in the United States, was founded from the profits Arndt received from a gaming news website he bought in the late 1990s called Stomped.com. The business received about $1 million in revenue during its first year.   In March 2007 Arndt sold his house in order to travel the world. The initial plan was to travel for about a year and a half, however Arndt decided to continue his travels indefinitely. Since 2007, he has traveled to about 140 countries and all seven continents.
