In 1495 he served in the office of voivod in Tula , followed by Novgorod in 1501 . In 1502 he was in Jama , a Russian border fortress directed against incursions by the Teutonic Order from Livonia . In 1503 he was in Ivangorod . In 1509 he left Vjasma in support of Dorogobush, which had been conquered a year earlier . 1514, during the third campaign of Grand Duke Vasily III. against the Lithuanian Smolensk , he was in Velikiye Luki . After the conquest of Smolensk he was given a command in the Russian invasion army, which was directed against the Lithuanian heartland . On September 8th of the same year, however, he was killed as the commander of a regiment in the battle of Orsha .

He had four sons: Samen, Juri, Wassili and Gregori, who continued the noble family Temka-Rostowski and Temkin-Rostowski after him.
