5 ft 8-1/4 in. I normally don't mention the quarter-inch. When I was younger I actually got to 5 ft 8-3/4, and I did indeed claim to be five-nine. Until I married a woman who was five-ten. She had long arms and liked to put things on shelves I couldn't reach without a chair. She also liked to wear heels, and I quickly got used to having her literally look down on me. On the other hand she weight a paltry 120 lbs and I could easily throw her over my shoulder.
My friend and bandmate Charles is only 5'5", and next to him onstage I look like a giant. Everything is relative, and I've learned to live with the fact that it is what it is.
