Andrew Wojtanik (nickname "Wojo," 1989) was the winner of the National Geographic Bee hosted by Alex Trebek in 2004, and the National Geographic World Championship in 2005. To get to the National Geographic Bee finals, he survived two tiebreakers to advance to the final round against 13-year-old Matthew Wells of Montana, beating him to win a $25,000 scholarship. He credits his success to a 384-page book he compiled, which is now an official study guide for the Bee, named "Afghanistan to Zimbabwe: Country Facts That Helped Me Win the National Geographic Bee." Andrew lived in Overland Park, Kansas and in 2008 graduated from Blue Valley West High School. His family has since moved to Florida.

He currently attends Georgetown, majoring in International Politics. There, he serves as events director for the Georgetown College Democrats and is active in many other campus organizations.
