Yeah, I have an American neutral accent as well. My mom is from the southwest (mostly Arizona.) My dad is from Kansas. But, he was Air Force and we moved a lot when I was a child.

Arizona is mostly pretty neutral and, I don't hear it, but I get accused, even here, of having a "cowboy" accent.

I learned something new today, though. I'd have pronounced it Cull-OH-den!
