Assuming 'people_person_nbr_seq' is the sequence attached to person_nbr
and the other DEFAULTs are the column defaults then the syntax would be:

INSERT INTO people
(person_nbr, lname, fname, job_title, company_nbr,loc_nbr, direct_phone, cell_phone,email, active)
VALUES
(DEFAULT, 'klaver', 'adrian', DEFAULT, 1, 1, '555-1234', '555-4321', 'adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx', DEFAULT);

If they are not the column defaults then just supply the literal value.

Adrian,

No matter how many postgres docs and web pages I read I didn't find an
example as explicit as yours. Columns other than the person_nbr were not
defined with defaults and I expected to enter them for each row.

Many thanks for another valuable lesson.

Best regards,

Rich
