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@aklaver.com', DEFAULT);

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