We assure you that our team is both hard-working and dedicated (even if they have quirky hobbies outside of work). Please enjoy with a sense of humor!
SALES
IAN FANCY
SALES
Introducing Ian, our sales veteran who’s been here so long, we’re starting to wonder if he came with the building. He’s the voice behind our company’s radio ad—because who better to sell our services than a guy who’s been around long enough to remember when vinyl records were cutting-edge? Between pitching sales and dropping obscure musical references, Ian is the soundtrack of our office.
CALE SHANNON
SALES
Introducing Cale, our inside sales guru. When he’s not closing deals, he’s flexing his knowledge of artisanal hops and pondering the next move in his latest chess match—yes, he’ll let you know he plays. Recently, he’s developed an intense, almost Instagram-worthy obsession with the gym. We suspect it’s not about the gains, but rather the glances from ladies at the protein shake counter. Ask him about his workout routine if you have a spare hour… or don’t if you value your time.
MIKE LUXTON
SALES
Meet Mike or “Little Mike”, our sales guy who’s as passionate about his harmonica playing as he is about his motorcycles. When he’s not revving up his bike, he’s serenading us with his unique harmonica solos—because nothing says 'sales expert' like a solo performance that might make you question your life choices. If you need to hear some 'heartfelt' harmonica riffs or get the lowdown on the latest bike trends, Mike’s your man!
KATHELEEN DALLEY
SALES
Kathleen, our sales expert who—if being the mother of Chris wasn’t impressive enough—also has a discerning taste for wine. When she’s not performing miracles in the sales department, she’s indulging in a fine glass of wine, because even saints need their downtime. Kathleen’s knack for balancing divine duties with a taste for the finer things in life is truly remarkable. Kathleen doesn’t have any quirky hobbies that I know of, so it was hard to make fun of her in this bio.
CHRIS DALLEY
SALES
Meet Chris, our outside sales aficionado who spends more time perfecting his espresso shots than actually drinking them. Nothing says 'sales success' like a barista-level brew. On the weekends, he’s probably deep into some mind-numbing strategy game, where excitement peaks at organizing virtual armies. But don’t let his hobbies fool you—Chris is always ready to close a deal… right after he adjusts the grind setting on his coffee grinder.
CREG HAYES
SALES
Say hello to Creg, our outside sales rep who’s always on the go—literally, now that he’s the proud owner of a Volkswagen camper that may or may not start on the first try. A connoisseur of gluten-free beer, Creg enjoys sipping his brew while dreaming of his next road trip. At lunchtime, you’ll find him pulling out a full, home-cooked feast, leaving the rest of us with our sad sandwiches. Whether he’s cruising in his vintage camper or pitching a sale, Creg does it all in style—preferably gluten-free.
GREG BURROWS
SALES
Introducing Greg, our sales rep who somehow balances his love for sports, his Cape Breton pride, and the endless defeats he faces in video games—usually at the hands of his young boys. Whether he’s passionately discussing the latest sports stats or reminiscing about the good ol’ days on the island, Greg is always ready for a challenge… unless it’s a game controller in his hands. Despite his best efforts, his kids regularly hand him a humbling loss. But don’t worry—Greg’s competitive spirit shines in sales, even if he’s benched in the virtual world.
Aidan Swinimer
Sales (Bridgewater)
Aidan is one of our sales specialists and a full-time ambassador for the “have you tried a real espresso?” community. He can somehow turn a simple coffee order into a 15-minute TED Talk about beans, grinders, and extraction times. When he’s not selling windows and doors, he’s spending his summers permanently attached to a ball field, disappearing into the woods to “camp” voluntarily, or catching Thunderbirds games like it’s part of his employment contract. Despite surviving almost entirely on caffeine and sports schedules, Aidan somehow still manages to stay on top of everything around the office.
RICHARD HARTENHOF
Sales (Coldbrook)
Introducing Richard, our sales guy who’s mentally checked out the moment the word 'camping' is mentioned. When he’s not knee-deep in nature, he’s staring out the store window, fantasizing about motorbikes and campers like a kid in a candy store. If you need him, just follow the scent of bug spray.
ADMIN
MELINDA MORRISSEY
INSTALLATION SCHEDULER
Meet Melinda, our installation scheduler who is so committed to her love of music, piano, gardening, and reading that she roleplays living in a time warp without a phone. Yes, you heard that right—no phone, which might mean she’s undercover in the ‘government-is-always-listening’ crowd. Melinda’s passion for birds is also something to behold; her avian obsession has led her to become the office’s resident bird-watcher and self-proclaimed 'bird whisperer.' If you see her serenading a robin or asking a crow for gardening tips, don’t be alarmed—it’s just another day in her quirky world!
Cassandra Riley
Reception Dartmouth
As the company receptionist, Cassandra somehow manages to answer phones, keep the office running smoothly, and disinfect every visible surface within a 10-foot radius. If you leave a coffee cup unattended for too long, there’s a good chance it’ll either be cleaned, reorganized, or thrown out entirely. Known for her outgoing personality and her suspiciously large stash of dog treats.
NICOLE PETTIPAS
ACCOUNTING CLERK
Introducing Nicole, our accounting clerk who has a side gig as a pet sitter. She refused to fork over any cash for a business shoutout, so we’re keeping her side hustle on the down low. But don’t let that fool you—Nicole is a hit with the company dogs, who probably adore her more than anyone else in the office. Why? Because she’s their daily treat fairy. Just know, if you’re a dog, you’re probably her biggest fan!
Marci Coutts
Install & Sales Coordinator (Bridgewater)
Marci is our install and sales coordinator, but in reality she runs on a strict schedule dictated entirely by coffee consumption — and everyone here respects that rule for survival purposes. Approaching her before caffeine intake is considered a bold career risk. Known locally as the “mother hen” of the Bridgewater store, Marci keeps everything and everyone in line, whether they asked for it or not. She somehow manages to coordinate installs, while also reminding everyone how things should be done (correctly, of course).
KRYSTA SAUNDERS
SERVICE
Meet Krysta, our beloved Service Schedule, Krysta is the glue that holds our office together. When she’s not helping customers, she’s locked in an epic standoff with her little guy, a toddler overlord who runs her life like a tiny, juice-stained CEO.
Michelle Nash
Install & Sales Coordinator (Coldbrook)
Bio coming soon…
MANAGEMENT
DANIELLE KELLEY
OFFICE/SALES MANAGER
Meet Danielle, our sales and office manager extraordinaire—though she’s still deciding which title she prefers, hence the dual titles stated. Her previous bio might hint at a passion for salsa dancing, but strangely, no one’s ever witnessed her busting a move. Perhaps she’s saving those moves for a special occasion or just enjoys keeping us all guessing. When she’s not juggling managerial roles, Danielle loves kicking back at her cottage and attending to her kids’ every need. She’s a master at relaxation and multitasking—just don’t ask her to choose between sales or office management, because that’s still up in the air!
SANDY COLEY
PRODUCTION MANAGER
Sandy, our production manager who hails from the wilds of Newfoundland. When he’s not keeping the production line running smoothly, you’ll find him enjoying a beer and tinkering with his family’s cars—though he seems to spend more time fixing the same issues he caused in the first place. A mechanic by trade, Sandy’s expertise is matched only by his ability to make most of what he says sound like it’s from a different planet. But don’t let the occasional confusion fool you; Sandy’s got the skills and the charm to keep things rolling—just don’t ask him to explain anything without a map.
Ryan Sadler
Operations & I.T Manager
Master of Website - Seller of Windows - Fix’er of computers - Father of Leonard - to just name a few titles he has around the office.
Ryan combines a passion for technology with hands-on experience in the manufacturing industry. When he’s not creating/editing the beautiful Nova website, he’s usually spending time taking items out of Leonard's mouth.
JASON SADLER
INSTALLS MANAGER
Meet our fearless install manager who runs on a steady diet of soccer highlights and overly ambitious home improvement projects. When he’s not glued to the TV watching a match, he’s probably taking on one of the many DIY ventures at his cottage or home—most of which are still in various stages of 'almost finished.' And let’s not forget, he brought this bio upon himself when he hired his own son to create and manage the company website and IT department
Mike Chassie
President
Introducing “Big Mike”, President of Nova Doors and Windows in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. He’s been in the manufacturing industry since before he was legally allowed to be paid, and still looks like he shouldn’t be. Around here, he runs the show—except when the real boss, Penny, is in the office. Off the clock, he can be found looking for his ball in the woods on the golf course, digging the puck out of the back of the net after a bad pinch or sprinting after Penny at the Park. Just kidding, he can’t sprint.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Penny
Meet Penny, she is the real boss of Nova Doors and Windows but holds the title of Chief Happiness Office (CHO). Her day to day work functions involve door to door tail wags (greetings), cross-functional nap optimization (sleeping at your feet), and strategic implementation of the toy distribution for the office (hoarding all the toys on her bed). Born to fetch and built for cuddles, she keeps the team smiling and customers charmed. When she isn’t working in the office, she can be found paws on the ground at a job site.
Leonard
IT Specialist
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make Leonard's approach to IT support is truly one-of-a-kind. His problem-solving techniques include a strategic mix of enthusiastic barking and occasional nudges to remind you that sharing is caring on your coffee break. If you're having networking issues, Leonard’s specialty is checking if ethernet cords are plugged in and working correctly.all the difference.
Wilbur
Penny’s Frenchie step‑brother and our most unpredictable part‑timer. No one is entirely sure what he does here, but we do know what happens when he clocks in: it’s an entertaining day. He conducts frequent workplace inspections of every employee and their desks, powers through energetic water‑cooler breaks with anyone who’ll listen, and hums around the office like a tiny engine to “ensure” everyone is working efficiently. You might mistake him for an old soul—the deadpan stare, the dramatic sighs, and the impressive number of times he starts snoring while still awake—but that’s just part of his special charm. Title pending; morale boost guaranteed.
Neil
Customer Service Supervisor
Neil is our newest member to the Nova Team. While customer service is a newer skillset of his, we are sure that Neil will thrive in his position. Neil is looking forward to meeting daily new people and bringing in 5 star reviews for his services!
Neil@novadogsandbones.com
Reba
Customer Service Supervisor
Reba joined Nova shortly after Neil was brought aboard. With all of the knowledge she brings to the customer service department, we had no hesitation in hiring her as the supervisor for our customer service specialist! In Reba’s free time, she loves to delve into the Nova Scotian food scene and also make herself heard with opinions about the latest gossip in the office!
Reba@novadogsandbones.com
ERIC HILCHIE
INSIDE SALES
Eric had over 25 years experience in the construction industry, primarily in windows and doors. Though Eric and the other sales staff serve all of HRM, he has an affection for the Eastern Shore (having grown up there and currently residing there as well) and has completed numerous projects in that area over the years. In his free time, Eric enjoys fishing, kayaking and other outdoor activities. He is also a die hard rock music fan and rarely misses the opportunity to attend a concert. Eric retired in December of 2021 and is enjoying his new found free time!
