I'm getting a 500 Error for creating the custom type template for single-portfolio.php. Any idea on how to fix it?

Here is my code:

<?php get_header();?>

<section class="two-column row no-max pad">
  <div class="small-12 columns">
    <div class="row">
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> 
      <!-- Primary Column -->
      <div class="small-12 medium-7 medium-offset-1 medium-push-4 columns">
        <div class="primary">

          <?php the_field('images'); ?>

      </div>
    </div>

<!-- Secondary Column --> <div class="small-12 medium-4 medium-pull-8 columns"> <div class="secondary">

        <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
        <p><?php the_field('description');?></p>

      </div>
    </div>

    <?php endwhile(); endif; ?>

   </div>
  </section>

<?php get_footer();?>

Also, my filename is titled: "single-portfolio_piece.php" because the Post Type I created is called: "portfolio_piece". Any idea on what might be causing my 500 error?

Found the problem, its in "<?php endwhile(); endif; ?>". When I get rid of the '()' I'm able to fix the 500 Error. So the correct code to end the loop for this page is "<?php endwhile; endif; ?>". Good luck to all of you WordPress Theme Development learners! Hope my struggles help you.
