Cull attended Cornell University, graduating in 1918. He then joined the army for the duration of the war. In 1921 he bought out the practice of obscure Providence architect T. Clarence Herrmann. He practiced until about 1942, when he devoted himself to the war effort. After the war, in 1945, he became chief architectural engineer for Arnold, Hoffman & Company. Two years later he and Knight D. Robinson established the firm of Cull & Robinson. In January 1955 the partnership was expanded to include Conrad E. Green as Cull, Robinson & Green. The firm was succeeded by Robinson, Green & Beretta upon Cull's death in 1956.

In 1970 the firm became the Robinson Green Beretta Corporation, which it remains.

Cull joined the AIA in 1930, and served as treasurer and president at various times.
