A native of Indianapolis, Langsenkamp and his wife, Sally Strong, moved in 1975 to Silver City, where he served as the Southwest representative for the Wilderness Society. He later worked for the New Mexico State Land Office for 14 years, retiring in 1996 as deputy state land commissioner. Bob was a founder of the New Mexico Conservation Voters' Alliance and the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance.
