Arnold enters his second season at the helm of the University of Michigan-Dearborn golf programs. 

Arnold is familiar with the golf programs, previously serving as an assistant coach under Howard Inch. Before his tenure with the Wolverines, Arnold coached high school golf at Dearborn High School, Cabrini High School, and Father Gabriel Richard High School in Ann Arbor. Dave has enriched himself in the golf community. He currently serves as the First Assistant Professional at Dearborn Country Club, with stops at Polo Fields Golf and Country Club, Washtenaw Golf Club, and West Shore Golf and Country Club. 

Arnold's experience also comes from his playing background, where he competed in USGA, Michigan PGA, and Golf Association of Michigan Events. Dave's love for coaching extends to the basketball courts. He is currently one of the longest-tenured high school basketball coaches in the state of Michigan, with 35 years of experience as a varsity head coach.
