Henry Skey
Account Executive
Hometown: I was born in Halifax, but Victoria is my hometown
How many times did you fail your driving test?
None, but I've locked my keys in the car with the car running 3 times. That's got to count for something.
How do you eat an Oreo?
With my teeth? What kind of question is this?
What is your greatest phobia?
Not fulfilling my dream of being an executive by day and a rugged superhero by night. Oh, and spiders, big hairy ones.
Jaeson Hildebrand
Account Executive
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario
What is your favourite board game?
Risk is hands down the greatest game of all time. I've been playing for years, and the longest game we ever played was over 13 hours straight.
What is your favourite drink?
A double vodka soda in one hand and a beautiful woman in the other.
What are your nicknames?
I'm pretty fond of "stay bright" which is a nickname another NB employee gave me for my occasional uniquely bright clothing selections.

I disconnected cable, because I found myself desiring to be too many of the characters on TV.
What is your favourite drink?
I'm not afraid to admit it... pretty much anything with an umbrella in it.
What is your greatest phobia?
Questionnaires.
Jessica Houghton
Business Development Manager
Hometown: I'm a nomad... I was born in Vancouver, BC, but I grew up living in Ontario, India, Singapore, and Texas. I've lived here for six years though... so maybe Victoria is my hometown?
What is your favourite drink?
A triple Venti nonfat half-caff soy latte with 1 pump mocha, 1 pump caramel and 1 pump peppermint, low foam, non-fat whip, steamed milk at 185 degrees, 2 packets of Splenda, 3 drops of half & half and an extra protective sleeve. (just kidding - that drink actually sounds pretty gross!)
How many times did you fail your driving test?
Passed it on my first try - I rock! (I also passed my motorcycle licensing test on the first try).
What animal would you be and why?
A cat. Seriously, who wouldn't want to be a Puma? Plus, I like the idea of being able to sleep 23 hours a day.
Kyle Goertzen
Account Executive
Hometown: Lethbridge, AB, but that's not something I like to brag about.
What is your greatest phobia?
Being the creepy old dude at the party.
What is your favourite sport?
The only thing that beats skiing for me is the aprés ski

I would play myself on the Real Life and stir the pot.
Matt Levine
Account Executive
Hometown: Los Angeles area, California
What animal would you be and why?
A duck, because a duck can swim and fly. It's just too bad that it can't do either particularly well.
What is your favourite drink?
Manhattan, but I can't have one every day.
What TV character would you be and why?
The idealist in me says Superman, but the hedonist says Vincent Chase from Entourage. While Vinny makes a movie every now and then, he mostly just seems to eat the delicious food, drink the finest booze, ski the plushest slopes, and travel around the world in style.
