Arthur Gayden is the captain of Detroit Country Day's Quiz Bowl team. He is a US-based generalist, meaning that he specializes in US history, US literature, etc. In 2021, Arthur became the head editor of DART, a high school hard level charity housewrite produced by the Detroit Country Day Quiz Bowl team. Arthur is notably an avid defender of NAQT Invitational Series sets, defending the quality of its questions under any circumstances.

Arthur emerged into the quiz bowl sphere during the COVID-19 pandemic from relative obscurity. After forming an all-sophomore team under the guidance of the DCDS A team at the time, Arthur led the newly-formed DCDS B team to win the JV title at the 2021 PACE NSC. The young DCDS team also finished 31st at their first HSNCT.
