Author, Lee Trotta

During his 25-year career as a geophysicist and hydrologist with the United States Geological Survey, Sheboygan resident Lee Trotta spent countless hours writing scientific reports on rocks and ground water.

Although he is now retired from the USGS, Trotta continues to hone his writing craft, albeit in a much different format – children’s books.

In June, Trotta published his second children’s book titled “Wisconsin Cheese,” which is a spin off off his 2016 debut children’s book “Florida Cheese.”

The Kenosha native and UW-Madison graduate has enjoyed the transition from the cold-hard facts of the scientific world to the imagination and wonder of children’s stories.
