Then in 1989 I opened my flagship store “GOPH & CO.” a designer showroom that sold exclusively my jewelry line, custom designs and One-of-a- kind pieces.

In1998 I built my Bend studio in Tumalo. There I returned to being a sole studio jeweler. I make each piece from start to finish, alloying the gold or other metals, then turning it into sheet-stock or wire for hand fabricating. The gemstones I then cut to enhance the designs.

In 2008 the Country was in an economic crisis, I adjusted by work, looking to design pieces using alternative materials with gold.

Thus the birth of my “Simple Cool” collection; a deconstructed cracked silver base, heavily textured with 22k fused gold and bezel set gems with flush set diamonds.

This new looks drew the attention of Glenn Espig gallery owner in Monecito, Ca. He invited me to join his artist group doing International Art Shows.

First was SOFA in Chicago 2010, showed there three years then we did Park Avenue Armory, NY 2013-14 and Dallas Art Center 1012 and finally West Palm Beach Fine Arts show.2015-2018

In 2014 I was ask to design the new COMAG show for Bends Metal Art Guild, of which i later became director for 8 years.
