Crane graduated from Cherry Creek High School in suburban Denver, Colorado in 1971, the University of Michigan in 1975, and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, in 1980.

Crane has written extensively and been cited often on the subjects of government accounting, pension funding, government finance and investment policies, political reform and state governance. In 2006 the California Legislature removed him from the board of the California State Teachers Retirement System after he questioned the system's reporting of pension liabilities and assumptions about future investment earnings [1]. In 2011 his term as a UC Regent was allowed to lapse without confirmation by the California Legislature after he expressed concerns that state funding of higher education was jeopardized in part by the failure to properly account for and pre-fund public employee pensions [2] [3].
