Steve Martinez
Owner, Tradewinds General Contracting, Inc.
I’ve always said I was born with a hammer in my hand. Construction has been in my blood since day one, thanks to my parents, who founded Tradewinds in 1980. After graduating from Boise State, I joined Tradewinds full-time, working as an estimator and job superintendent. Starting from the ground up not only taught me the value of hard work but also gave me a deep appreciation for the skilled people who build our communities.
Beyond the job site, I am deeply involved in the local, state, and national builders associations. My belief in the philosophy of “get involved or get out of business” has kept me ahead of industry challenges and positioned me to advocate effectively for growth and housing issues. Through these associations, I’ve had the opportunity to build relationships with policymakers, elected officials, and even those who may initially oppose growth. I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition for my contributions at all levels, but the real reward has been the chance to work alongside some of the most influential leaders in our industry.
At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to building—not just homes, but lasting relationships and stronger communities.

Seeing an increasing number of people unable to access housing in the region and feeling the need to create avenues to housing for those facing difficult market forces and other barriers.
In 2016, Bart began working as the volunteer founder and CEO of the nonprofit now known as LEAP Housing. LEAP’s mission is to develop and preserve workforce housing in Idaho while providing empowering services that lead to greater housing stability. Boise Regional REALTORS and Idaho Regional REALTORS awarded Bart the Good Neighbor Award in 2023.

January General Membership Luncheon With Boise Airport Director Rebecca Hupp
Rebecca Hupp has served as the Boise Airport Director since April 2012. Under her leadership, the airport has experienced a period of unprecedented growth—both in the number of nonstop routes offered and in the number of passengers served, which has nearly doubled during her tenure.

Rebecca is responsible for the day-to-day operation and long-term planning and development of Idaho’s primary commercial airport, which serves approximately four million passengers annually. Some of her key accomplishments include recruiting a $20 million-plus, 130,000-square-foot airline maintenance facility, attracting additional air service routes and frequencies, developing community coalitions, and expanding the airport’s parking garage and a variety of airfield improvements.
Hupp has served on many nonprofit boards and industry trade group organizations and received many recent awards, such as Idaho Business Review’s Women of the Year and CEO of Influence in 2020; Airport Experience News’s Director of the Year, Medium Airports Division; Boise Metro Chamber’s Travel Industry Excellence Award in 2021; and Boise Convention & Visitor’s Bureau’s “Spirit of Hospitality” winner at this year’s ROSE Awards.
