A native of New York, Greene was educated in law at St. John's University and New York University before launching his career in corporate and tax law.
Following the end of his term in the state senate, he was appointed as head of the state insurance department in 1997 by Governor Fife Symington.

He subsequently announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of Arizona in the 2006 Arizona gubernatorial election, but withdrew from the race.
