The two moved back to Albuquerque and married in 2006, making Asli stepmother to his daughter Natalie from a prior marriage. The couple later welcomed daughter Melissa in 2008. Mark retired from his role as a Director of the Real Return Group for the New Mexico Education Retirement Board in August 2024 and subsequently began his role as the VP of Business Development at Innoven Energy.
