He graduated from Mosley Flint School of Real Estate and was a 1988 graduate of University of Virginia, Realtors Institute, receiving his Real Estate Brokerage license in 1988.
During school and upon graduation, Jim worked in the family-owned bulldozing business, J. L. Osborne Excavating Contractors, Inc. In 1986 Jim and his Brother, John, purchased the business and continued to serve the company as co-owners and business partners.
