On the show he controversially asked a girl named Becca to marry him in the season finale, only to reverse his decision weeks later so he could rekindle his relationship with another girl named Lauren. When Arie isn't appearing on reality TV or racing cars, he primarily works as a real estate broker in Scottsdale, Arizona.
