"This is the first porn star that we're working with," Rem, the owner of Dirtbag, told AVN.com. "It's definitely something that we're very interested in getting into. We're interested in hooking up other people who are working in the industry."
Wood, a former golf pro from the Charlotte, N.C. area, has performed in over 400 sex scenes for just about every major company in adult since 1998.
"I'm stoked. I'm real excited," Wood said. "They're an up-and-coming company and I'm glad to be part of the team."
Rem said that until now he has focused his market primarily on the rock-and-roll scene. Dirtbag sponsors numerous bands including Slipknot, Damage Plan, Drowning Pool and Fear Factory.
"We've been working the last couple years pretty extensively with the music industry, but with Tyler being a friend of mine and being very motivated and good at sales and promotions, he was interested and really liked the gear," Rem said. "We like to work with people who really appreciate the product.
"People that help us, we help them."
The company also plans to re-launch its Website in about a month with a fresh look, the latest gear and more features. Rem said girls interested in sponsorships could e-mail their pictures.
"Get your bag on and send your dirtiest shots to Rem@dirtbag clothing.com," he said.
Wood's Website, TylerWoodxxx.com is coming soon.
