Jessica De La Garza; Help Desk Advocate
Howdy! I work as a Tier 1 Tech and administrator. I have been in the IT industry for the past 3 years. I grew up in a generation when computers were becoming more and more advanced. That’s helped me to become familiar with them. I also am always learning more and have increased my knowledge greatly while working with MouseCalls. I have always been in an environment were I get to help others, so being able to help our customers with their technology needs brings me lots of joy! In my free time I enjoy practicing digital art, spending time outdoors, or simply hanging out with friends.

Cheryl Philamalee; Partner, Accounts and Acquisitions
Cheryl Philamalee, a native of the West Coast, joined MouseCalls in 2012. With a background in accounting and HR for the state of Washington and extensive experience in hospitality, she initially came on board to help Mr. Reeves with operations of two of his companies. Philamalee immediately showed extraordinary initiative and people skills, soon growing her position to hire her first assistant a year after joining the team so she could focus on learning the businesses and fulfilling more executive and sales roles within both companies.
Cheryl demonstrated a fantastic ability to manage client accounts, both from a solutions and personal side. Philamalee and Reeves tripled the size of one of Reeves' companies in 16 months. Many clients have come to see Cheryl as family.
In her free time, you can find Cheryl loving life with her daughter and their beloved (aka spoiled) pets; including (but not limited to) cats, dogs, a lizard, a chinchilla… dare we say the list goes on? She enjoys music, concerts, anything on or near water, traveling, and (of course)
TACOS!!
Alan "Woody" Reeves; Founder/Chairman Emeritus, Specialty Projects Coordinator
Alan "Woody" Reeves put three flyers up in West Nashville grocery stores advertising his IT and technology support services in February, 1998. It was the first of four technology companies Reeves would start over the next 25 years. Reeves’ companies have supported small healthcare, small businesses, the Nashville Sounds minor league baseball team, as well as local and international non-profits. Reeves’ companies have served clients in 26 states.
Reeves and his first company, MouseCalls, assisted both the FBI and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation in a child pornography case in 2008. This led to Reeves becoming aquainted with the head FBI’s cybercrime division for Tennessee and they did speaking engagements together. Reeves has also been interviewed on nationally syndicated media about how to stay safe online.
In 2015, Mr. Reeves was one of ten IT business owners from around the nation picked to assist in building a cybersecurity boot-camp concept to take to other IT business owners. However, in 2016, one of Reeves’ clients suffered a financial loss when the owner’s personal email account was hacked. As a result, Reeves began thinking about an “antivirus for people”. The existing solutions on the market were not a good fit for his companies or any other IT provider. In 2023, Reeves now brings Uncompromized™ to the IT/MSP sector; which provides identity theft protection, dark web monitoring, credit monitoring, and Internet privacy services.
