He was a professor of zoology at the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and has retired only recently.

His wife, Nita J. Rossman (b. 1936), also has an interest in herpetology and even had a subspecies named after her: Thamnophis sauritus nitae, a subspecies of the Eastern Ribbon Snake. She had collected the holotype for this subspecies on a field trip with her husband for his dissertation research, and he named it in her honor.
