DeVaughn Gow representing The Bahamas in Mr. World competition
The Search for the world’s most desirable man is on, and Bahamian DeVaughn Gow is on a mission to show that world that he is the one.
DeVaughn is among the finalists in the global hunt for Mr. World 2014, who have gathered in Torbay, Devon, UK for the chance of a lifetime. Over the next two weeks they will be pushed to the limits as they take on a series of challenges designed to test every quality required to be the “world’s most desirable man”.
DeVaughn holds a bachelor of science degree in exercise science from the University of Tampa and is a personal concierge and a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)-certified fitness trainer. He hopes to expand his fitness training enterprise to offer the very best training methods to the very best athletes the world over, using the natural Bahamian environment and specialized techniques to augment and enhance those methods. He said he hopes to use his own success to bolster local and global support for the diversification of Bahamian industry. In his spare time, he enjoys cross-training, basketball, martial arts, drawing, singing, amateur carpentry, gardening, poetry, writing, swimming, spear-fishing and playing with his dogs. DeVaughn is also light on his feet, and is an accomplished latin dancer, specializing in bachata, salsa, and meringue. He is a graduate of the Florida Air Academy and has been awarded for acts of heroism. And he also has a unique talent, he says he can shuck and open a coconut with nothing but his hands and teeth!
Mr. World 2014 promises to be an amazing event like no other. Over the next two weeks the contestants will face a series of grueling challenges, including the following:
– They will be put through their paces at the Royal Marine Commando’s Training Facility, home of the UK’s elite special force and world leaders in discipline, strength and unity;
– They will take to the seas under the expert supervision of the International Sailing School, one of the UK’s premier sailing organizations. They will test their team work abilities as they race against each other on some of the best sailing vessels in the world;
– Their sporting skills will be challenged as they compete in a variety of sporting disciplines, including a football challenge with local team Torquay United.
