Greenslade was born in Auckland, but came to Thames, where he grew up, with his parents when he was less than two years old.[1] He was Mayor of Thames in 1898–1900.[2] He resigned from the mayoralty in March 1900, as he had bought a farm in Ōhaupō in the Waipa District.[3]
He contested the 1899 election in the Thames electorate, but was beaten by James McGowan in the three-person contest.[4][5][6] He won the Waikato electorate in the 1905 general election, and held it to 1911, when he was defeated by the Reform candidate Alexander Young.[7]
In 1935, Greenslade was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal.[8] He died in Hamilton on 18 April 1945.[9]
