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

continue his travels indefinitely. Since 2007, he has traveled to about 140
countries and all seven continents. Arndt does not maintain a personal
