After serving in World War II for four years, Goehring received his initial art training at the Meinzinger School of Applied Art in Detroit. After teaching there for a year, he moved with his wife to Colorado and studied at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center from 1948 to 1950 with mentors Jean Charlot and Emerson Woelffer. Goehring remained in Colorado Springs for 59 years, becoming a highly regarded abstract expressionist. He taught for one year at the University of Denver in 1957.
