Walker wanted to learn a job behind the camera when he was a teenager. At first he wanted to become a cameraman , but after trial work he decided against this profession and for directing. His short film Tea Party Animals , made at the age of 15, only reinforced his wish. After graduating from Sandringham College, Jonathan M. Shiff Productions Pty.

After completing a 1 1/2 year internship there, he decided to ask for an internship on the television series Neighbors . He was also accepted there, and this internship ultimately led to his first official engagement as a director of Walker, who was then only 20 years old. Walker also appeared in the video for the single Something's Gotta Give by John Butler Trio on.

Walker is married to Brooke Harmon, whom he met while filming Wayne Wilson . The two have a son (* 2013).
