Falker played 3 seasons (2004–2007) in the NCAA college basketball championship, playing for Southern Illinois University's Salukis under coach Chris Lowery. As a sophomore Falker's explosive rebounding and shot-blocking won him MVP honors at the Missouri Valley Conference.

Falker led the league in blocked shots and helped SIU advance to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA basketball tournament.
After not being drafted at the NBA's 2008 NBA draft, Falker decided to start his pro career in Europe, and signed in the summer of 2008 with Cholet Basket (French Pro A League), where he became a major player of the team, under head coach Erman Kunter, and one of the best rebounders of the league. With Cholet, he also played in European-wide competitions, such as the EuroChallenge 2008–09 season, where his team reached the Final game, the EuroCup 2009–10 season, and the EuroLeague 2010–11 season. In 2010, he won the French Pro A League championship with Cholet.
