President

Headshot for J.C. Greene Following in his father’s footsteps, Mr. Greene owns and operates James C. Greene Company. He began working at the company in 1969, managed Greenville’s office in 1972, and two years later moved to Raleigh as Assistant Vice President. He offers general operational oversight for the entire business, handles legal matters, and establishes company-wide policies. He also attends industry-sponsored events each year.

Mr. Greene graduated from East Carolina University in 1969 and was listed in the 1968-69 edition of Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. After college, he completed Vale Training’s Auto Estimatics and Property Adjusting programs. He’s been in the claims industry for 50 years! In the extremely rare occasion you find Mr. Greene not working, you’ll find him enjoying car shows, walking national historic sites, visiting museums, or attending ECU sporting events.
