Born and raised in Launceston, Tasmania, Walker attended West Launceston Primary School, Riverside High School and Launceston College before moving to Canberra in 2003 to attend the Australian Institute of Sport. The following year, he moved to the United States to attend Montana State University Billings.

In those 25 games, he averaged 3.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per game. In his final year in 2008–09, he played 25 games (8 starts) and averaged 2.7 points and 1.6 rebounds per game.
After graduating from Saint Mary's in 2009 with a major in business administration, Walker returned to Australia and joined the Dandenong Rangers for the 2010 SEABL season.
