Born in Comox, British Columbia, Walker grew up in Qualicum Beach, where he operated a technology business. He was elected Qualicum Beach town councillor in the 2018 municipal election. After being acclaimed as the BC NDP candidate for Parksville-Qualicum in October 2020, he went on to defeat the incumbent BC Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly Michelle Stilwell in that month's provincial election to become the riding's new representative. He resigned his town council seat in November 2020, and was named Parliamentary Secretary for the New Economy by Premier John Horgan in the same month.
On December 7, 2022 he was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainable Economy by Premier David Eby.
He was dismissed from his position as a Parliamentary Secretary and removed from the BC NDP caucus following an internal investigation.
