He and Adura Arnold Browman married in 1933 and together they raised four children.

Browman worked for The University of Montana’s Department of Zoology as a professor from 1937-1972 and professor emeritus from 1972-1986. He served as chair of the department from 1948-1956.

Browman involved himself in numerous public service activities. He served on the Missoula Community Hospital Board of Directors from 1964-1974 and as president of the Missoula Democratic Club from 1969-1973. He was elected to the Missoula Board of County Commissioners for one term during 1973-1978.
