Arnold teamed up with Justin Trojek in 2009 and skated two seasons with him on the senior level.

They were coached by Paul Macintosh in Waterloo, Ontario.[3]

Arnold and Thomas Williams had a tryout in February 2015.[2] Although he decided to take a year off, they continued to skate together occasionally (around eight times) and began a formal partnership in March 2016.[2] They placed 5th at the 2018 Canadian Championships and 8th at the 2018 Four Continents Championships. They are coached by Megan Wing and Aaron Lowe in Burnaby, British Columbia.[1]
